MPEG-LA has stated that it won't be charging any royalty fee for H. 264 video encoding and streaming technology. The technology is well known in website format to help offer video content offered by users.

Prior to this the firm had proclaimed that it would be charging a royalty amount for the H. 264 video format that initiates from 31 December 2015 onwards. However, this proclamation has been rebuffed and now the video format royalty remains for eternity.

Through a statement released the firm has added that that it would still be charging users for H. 264 video norms as in case of Blu-ray drives and disc reproduction.

This step would not only provide a solution to cater to the ongoing video standards war, at the same time would offer prevention against users from employing unfair means of adopting rival video formats including, search engine giant Google's WebM video codec.

In addition to the H. 264 video format, Mozilla Firefox has brought out the Ogg Theora video format, which proves to be an open source and Google tries to offer it in WebM a video format standard.
