I remember microsoft releasing it's findings concerning piracy rates of XP and how they arrived at their conclusions: basically they looked at how many licenses they sold world wide and compared it to the number of unique IP addresses that accessed windows update servers, the rate was 100 to 1, for every 1 license they sold 100 separate computers downloaded an update.

Same way they buy Windows and Macs, while there is Linux for free.Īctually i would venture to say that most people don't buy their copy of windows or OS X, it either came installed on the pc they bought or they pirated it.

This doesn't smell kosher to me and i think that they are going to have problems somewhere down the line.Ībout who buys commercial products while there are free / open source solutions out there, the answer is: the majority.

Jason and Loren, the current lead developers are now taking the GPL'd product and creating a second "commercially friendly" license for the software that they can sell. Very disappointing news, pegasys should have spent more time worrying about improving their product and less time about trying to implement more effective anti-piracy measures (which were easily bypassed, btw.)Įdit: one additional thought comes to mind: i'm not 100% sure that this is completely legal on the part of the current x264 developers, the software was originally created and GPL'd by Laurent Aimar
If they didn't want to, or couldn't afford to, license mc's gpu powered avc encoder they should just have worked on offering a purevideo/uvd decoder for both amd and nvidia video cards that supported avc, mpeg-2 and vc-1 decoding, that alone would have catapulted them to the head of the class. Honestly, considering how often x264 is updated and how many times they have to fix a bug that crept in, pegasys is looking at a situation where their precious baby is going to be outdated within a month of it being released. I honestly don't see anyone spending $100 bucks on tmpg express if it's major feature is that x264 is "seamlessly integrated", x264 is open source and legally free to use, there are a ton of open source projects that can be used with it and even the current tmpg express can output to x264 using the vfw framework. there was a time pegasys took the lead in embracing and including the latest technologies in their products: they were one of the first to support sse2 with the original tmpg encoder, they were the first to embrace sse3, ssse3 and sse4 (<-which made a significant difference in many cases), hell to this day their software is one of the few to support sse4 they were the first to have gpu accelerated filters (which helped out quite a bit) and they were the first to have gpu powered decoding, though it's only limited to mpeg-2.Īfter that, they just rested and offered no real improvements to their software, maybe adding support for some additional formats, but it seemed that they were more interested in trying to market their various sdk's. On a general note, i think this will mark the death knell for pegasys' products as real players in the desktop market.
The x264 encoder will be integrated into the next generation of Pegasys’ popular video conversion software, TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress, and will be the first commercial software granted a commercial license for this technology in Japan.ġ) that's dark shikari?!? just looking at his geeky face explains why he is such a douche in all online interactions.Ģ) i guess this means that tmpg will cease to use main concept's encoder, which is too bad, i had really hoped that pegasys would license mc's gpu powered avc encoder and integrate that into their product. announced today that it has formally signed an agreement with x264 LLC for the use of the x264 H.264/AVC encoder under a commercial license.
