> While the US and EU patents around MPEG-4 Part 2 expired in recent years, until today there remained one patent still active in Brazil.
Since MPEG-this Part that is hard to keep straight, this is the MPEG standard backing Xvid and DivX codecs. So let's encode video and torrent like it's 2002!

FWIW, Via Licensing listed this patent as standards-essential to several MPEG codecs (AVC/H.264, HEVC/H.265, VVC/H.266), and it's also listed for VC-1 (a SMPTE standard).

The openness of those codecs depend on the last patent expiring, not the first.

Of course.

Note that MPEG-4 part 2 is H.263/DivX/XviD, not H.264.

Good. I have been poking at rcarmo/go-264 but was hesitant to tackle encoding :)

Very nice, I hope this means increased support for it in open source projects
