Re: NHW Project - some update

Hello Dave,

Thank you very much again to believe in the NHW Project and spend some of
your precious time in the help of the project! This is much appreciated!

I know it will be very very difficult, and even a Theora forum member
answered me few months ago that it is totally impossible that a company
uses my codec in their mobile phones, and I tend to share that opinion.

For now, and it's great, their is a study to replace MotionJPEG with the
NHW Project for low power processors -that don't have enough power for
MotionJPEG-.

But again Dave, if you would have any advice, if you could indicate me a
person/company to contact but I know it's extremely difficult, it would be
so much exceptional!

Many thanks again for your consideration Sir!
Best regards,
Raphael
