Google has updated its directory section with new ODP data recently, so =20
hopefully they will do this monthly now like they did it in the past. =20
The long pause was caused by UTF-8 incompatibility issues between ODP =20
and Google. Some of the relevant categories for MPEG-4 related sites =20
are:

http://directory.google.com/Top/Science/Reference/Standards/=20
Individual_Standards/MPEG-4/

http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Multimedia/MPEG/

http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Multimedia/MPEG/DivX/

http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Multimedia/Digital_Video/

http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Multimedia/Music_and_Audio/=20
Audio_Formats/MPEG-4/

http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Internet/Broadcasting/

http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Internet/Protocols/RTSP/

Most of them also have software subcategories where you can submit your =20
site through the ODP interface if you wish to do so. It also provides a =20
category description with guidelines how to submit, e.g. which sites are =
=20
on-topic in that category and which not. The Google version adds an =20
interesting page ranking to the different sites based on their own =20
methods while the ODP categories simply sort the URLs alphabetically =20
using their title. The ODP version always shows the current state =20
though, i.e. when a site is accepted by the editor, it will be listed =20
immediately, see e.g.:
