No, it's a proprietary format that is owned by GMO (and AT&T?) that is similar in some ways to AAC. And further, apparently GMO has trademarked the term MP4 to refer to this non-standard technology, clearly a naked marketplace grab. Blech. See http://www.wired.com/news/news/culture/story/17303.html for more information. I hope this doesn't end up confusing the marketplace more than it already is. -- Eric Scheirer -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
