XLent universal media support

There is no dominant standard for online and mobile video.
So you need to support all popular standards.

Media standards change
Realvideo was beaten by Windows Media. WMV was beaten by Flash. Microsoft fights back with Silverlight. Adobe changes to H.264. Apple adopted H.264. The mobile standard is 3GPP.

No dominant standards
There is no standard for online and mobile video. And there won’t be. Which is good. Multiple standards and competition drive innovation and keep the costs down.

Future standards
The future formats are VC1/WMV, AAC, H.264 and 3GPP. For live streaming. For VOD streaming. Progressive delivery. To deliver to PC’s. Macs. Mobile devices. Home media devices. HTTP. RTSP. MMS. RTMP. These standards are everywhere.

Multiple standards
You can’t afford to focus on a single technology. No technology has ultimate dominance. H264 Flash? Not the advertised 98% but 65% market penetration. No technology has proven to be able to maintain a dominant status quo for more than 3 years.
