Wednesday, 14 May 2024 - MPEG-4 News Digest week 19, 2003
MPEG-4 News Readers,
Last week, IBM releases its toolkit for MPEG-4. Check out IBM's new and
comprehensive  <http://www.research.ibm.com/mpeg4> MPEG-4 pages. Here you
can find tools, content, links, information and more. There is especially
good information on XMT, the eXtensible MPEG-4 Textual format.
Our Resources page now has a new section that lists and links to (currently
10) MPEG-4  <http://www.m4if.org/resources.php#section37> Market Research
reports.
Hopefully you won't notice, but  <http://www.m4if.org/> M4IF's website has
had a major upgrade behind the scenes. To the user this means it's more
dynamic and up-to-date - check out the new menus.
M4IF holds its next (annual)
<http://www.m4if.org/meetings/12thMeeting/index.php> membership meeting on
26, 27 June in Montreal, Canada.
<mailto:Paul.Ritchie   m4if.org?subject=Sample 12th M4IF meeting> Contact Paul
Ritchie if you are a non-member interested in joining M4IF and want to
sample this meeting. M4IF's Board emphasizes that no SARS cases have been
reported in Montreal and that the city is 600 km. from Toronto. The WHO
today announced that SARS is under control in Canada. 
Kind Regards,
Rob Koenen
