What is the current patent status of cinepak implementations? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.107.175.97 ( talk • contribs)
The External Links section refers to Compression Technologies Inc at the URL www.cinepak.com, and mentions that it is in Japanese. The reason the page is in Japanese is that CTI has gone out of business, and the domain name has been snatched up by a squatter. That page has nothing to do with Cinepak. Should the link be removed? It would be nice to retain a mention of CTI.
Cinepak is now in the awkward position of being an orphan. Supermac was the original owner, then Supermac was bought by Radius. Before Radius imploded, they sold the rights to CTI. CTI went out of business circa 2001, so even if there were patent, license, or copyright issues, it is not clear that there is any entity in the world with standing to defend them.

Quote form article: Cinepak files tend to be about 70% larger than similar quality MPEG-4 or Ogg files.
Ogg is container and it is impossible to compare it with Cinepack. Maybe someone was thinking about Theora which is often embedded in Ogg files?

The home page of Cinepak talks about 16-bit and 32-bit versions. It isn't clarified in this article. How about 64-bit versions? —DIV ( 137.111.13.4 ( talk) 03:24, 16 March 2015 (UTC))
