if im not mistaken there was suppose to be a blog or article post on the raspberry pi website on what codecs that it has but he hasnt posted on it and they said he has been busy with something else.

so it may look like we might get extra codecs?

Quote:I understand the Broadcom BCM2835 video decoder can support several codecs, but most likely it would only support H.264 in the Raspberry Pi due to license costs. For Audio, I don't expect the R-Pi would support DTS although it would be technically feasible.
I've seen some other devices (e.g. tablets) that are shipped without all codecs and you just need to pay extra and download some firmware to have access to those codecs.
Would that be possible to proceed in a similar way with the Raspberry Pi or can the codecs only be enabled/disabled during manufacturing ?
