Nullsoft's*
NSV format looks interesting, if only because it comes from Nullsoft....
NSV is a new video format. It is designed to be easily streamed, support any audio and video codec, and be usable on nearly any platform.
I'm sure you've heard of
WinAmp. Nullsoft makes that. But do you remember their buyout? Yeah,
good god. Along with spinner.com, Nullsoft was
swallowed up by AOL in June of '99 for
$300 million. I think their CEO,
Justin Frankel, was hardly 21 years old at the time. But with all that newfound job security, did they sell out?
Hell no. Nullsoft rocks for life.
