There are a number of conflicting goals I have seen people express. Some for example want compatibility with legacy endpoints without transcoding video data. Others want to ensure that Free software implementations can interoperate with commercial products (without unacceptable sacrifices in terms of video quality and coding performance). Some simply do not want that WebRTC becomes known for negotiation failures, which could do serious damage to the protocol. And so on. I am not aware of anyone in- sisting there be only a single codec though. I do not know whether the Working Group's Requirements specification denies some of the arguments (e.g., it could say compatibility with legacy endpoints is a non-goal). -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@xxxxxxxxxxxx · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
