If there is no open sourced decoder avail then if I make backups of my home videos and want to watch them in 20+ years on the successor of the successor of Longhorn then who guarantees me that I can still play them?

Maybe everyone will be using Linux by then (hehe). With the decoder source there is at least a chance someone will be able to port the code.

Whats On2 stand point on this?
