[foms] HLS and HLS patents

[Jeroen Wijering]

That would be very helpful!

The big issue I see with M3U8 is that it requires chunks to be transport
streams. I presume this is not an open format?

In terms of the functionalities and metadata provisions, m3u8 seems to have
all that's needed.

Kind regards,

Jeroen

I agree that it may be a defensive patent of Apple and I don't know how
strongly Apple wants to hold on to their IP there.

It may be necessary to invent a new file format and not reuse m3u8, because
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pantos-http-live-streaming-01 says that
derivative works are not allowed.

I could try and find somebody in Apple to help direct the right way to
approach this for Ogg and WebM.

Silvia.
