[MPEGIF Discuss] mpeg-4 licensing usage question

Hi,

I have recently begun investigating distributing a
software application that will enable users to convert
video sequences from a proprietary format into MPEG-4
AVIs using Microsoft's MPEG-4 codec to do the
compression.  The MPEG-4 AVIs are on the order of 1 to
6 seconds in length.

Does this fall under the scenario of encoder sold to
end users, since we would provide the users a
capability they otherwise wouldn't have, despite the
fact that the actual encoder is Microsoft's which has
its own license.

Thanks for any information.

-Jon Hendrich
