To you a 33% drop from 1.5 to 1 is not much, but when you're paying for bandwidth usage that is a pretty good bit of savings. I'm not sure of anyone legitimate that's pushing that kind of data isn't using a licensed encoder.
Then they should be paying for the encoder, and the decoder should be open-source and patent-free.
How many times as a viewer have you had to pay for the decoder? Have you ever paid for a video player?
