CoreCodec Apologizes For CoreAVC Takedown

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "In a follow-up to the previous story, CoreCodec has apologized for the incorrect DMCA Takedown notice that took the CoreAVC project offline. There's also a public statement by co-founder Dan Marlin saying in part, 'I'd like to publicly apologize to Alan [CoreAVC project lead] for the disconnect between him and us as well as the disruption to the project as there was no ill will intended and we were already working on a resolution with him before this went public.' They've also created a new policy for sending out DMCA Takedown notices, so that they won't misuse them in the future."

yeah, sure.

stop spreading BS, h264-hardware-acceleration is not even necessary on linux systems!
i can play 1080p-h264 + dts matroska rips with mythtv htpc and mplayer on athlon x2 4600+, nvidia 7600 GT with 50% cpu usage on both cores.
framerate smooth as butter.

windows operating systems and players must be doing something wrong here.
even for media stuff windows is on the decline, those glory virtualdub days are over.
