several semiconductor companies, which indicates to us how eager the market is to have VP6 decoding directly available in hardware chips. The Hantro 9190 is fully configurable for resolution, format and feature support, which means our customers can minimize the silicon area and chip cost in every target application."

The First On2 VP6 Hardware Decoder Design

The Hatnro 9190 includes full decoding support for the On2 VP6 video format (both VP6-E and VP6-S profiles). VP6, through its inclusion in the Adobe Flash and Sun JavaFX application platforms, has become the video format of choice on popular sites including Hulu, NYTimes.com, CNN, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Toudou.com, Eurosport, CCTV.com and others, making VP6 playback a fundamental requirement for Internet-connected devices.

One of the Q3 transactions for the decoder was $1.4 million with a top-5 semiconductor company.....$_________ million in decoder transactions to record in Q4 and beyond...then there's that royalty component....no wonder the bean counters said they won't need cash

If there's pent up demand for the decoder.....there must be a lot of VP6 encoded content out there....or VP6 content coming.......must be why Google wants On2....control the content, control the advertising, control the playback experience....control the world of video...I say no thanks Google....come back with a more serious offer or just get back in line for your license with the rest of them?
