No, the patents on that are so close to expiring anyway its not worth it to do the licensing for it... See when a codec nears the end these slimy patent pools like to crank up the prices to squeeze every lsat drop out of it. Anyone recall the date it expires? /b On May 25, 2010, at 12:42 PM, Madovsky wrote:

Hi all,

is there a chance that in future there will be a mod_g723 transcoder ?

Thanks

I assume you mean G.723.1. It is very difficult to licence the patents related to G.723.1 unless you are a huge user. G.729 has a well defined scheme for licencing the relevant patents on an incremental basis, starting at a modest numbers of channels. G.723.1 is quite problematic. For that reason it is unlikely that G.723.1 will be available as a host software transcoder module any time soon. There are, however, hardware card options which can provide this codec. Steve
