[Live-devel] ONVIF/PSIA compliance

[Ross Finlayson]

>Is Live555 compliant with ONVIF and PSIA?

To be honest, I hadn't heard of either of these things until you 
mentioned them.

The standards body that defines Internet Standard protocols for video 
streaming is the IETF, and it is those standards that we (at least 
attempt to) follow.

I don't know how these other "Industry Forums" relate to the IETF 
standard protocols, but (IMHO) these organizations usually exist in 
order to try to gain a competitive advantage over a dominant or 
threatening rival.

Finlayson's Law of Industry Forums: To discover the real purpose of 
an 'Industry Forum', look at its membership list, and note which 
major player in the industry is *not* present.

Often these organizations 'pick and choose' from IETF standards that 
suit them, but sometimes they add custom extensions, in which case we 
probably don't support them.

But again, I don't know anything about these organizations (and I 
don't really have the time to research them right now), so I really 
can't say for sure.
