Microsoft has chosen InterVideo to port the software giant's Windows Media technology to the open source Linux platform, the companies announced yesterday. The porting project allows consumer electronics companies to ship Linux-based consumer devices such as set-top boxes, personal video recorders, and other multimedia devices that are compatible with audio and video files encoded in the Windows Media 9 Series formats. The goal isn't to produce a Windows Media Player for Linux desktop systems.
