Microsoft have theirs, so does apply (quicktime), Nero (Nero digital video), DivX is proprietary too...

*palmface*

So...... So.........

Well at least I haven't had to pay for a Video Codec yet ^^

It's not the viewer that pays. It's always the encoder. So whichever way, you won't be paying.

One reason why XviD and x264 are so popular with free encodes like fansubs. They are free. (Not like the company is going to sue a single person for illegally using their codec anyways. They make their money on companies.)

I'm interested in the OLED technology. Wonder when that'll become mainstream on the market.
