Sigma Designs has released an MPEG-4 codec of thier own. It's not surprising since they have just released thier Xcard, which is a hardware based decoder which can decode MPEG-4 video. You can read a review of it over at Tom's Hardware Guide.


Sigma Designs, a leader in IP video streaming solutions, demonstrated today for the first time an MPEG-4 video CODEC that works as a plug-in under Windows to encode digitized video content into fully compatible ISO MPEG-4 video files. The new CODEC is available now for download, free of charge, through Sigma's website to support users wishing to build ISO MPEG-4 compatible content.

The emergence of a trend toward 'MPEG-4 Ready' devices is generating increasing demand for fast and easy methods of encoding and producing MPEG-4 compatible files. In support of this trend, Sigma has developed its CODEC to ensure that users can develop content libraries in a manner fully compatible with the MPEG-4 video specifications and Sigma's silicon implementations. Using Sigma's new MPEG-4 CODEC, users will have the assurance of plug-n-play operation, much like the DVD standard has accomplished. In a similar manner, Apple is providing MPEG-4 encoding support in its recent release of QuickTime 6.0
