Leonardo Chiariglione, the founder of Moving Pictures Experts Group (MPEG), is moving ahead with his new Digital Media Project (DMP), hoping to bridge the gaps between resolutely incompatible copy-proofing technologies from companies like Microsoft, Apple and Sony.
The group has issued a call for standards that would let different portable music and video devices play the same content, without the barriers that keep iPods and Sony players wholly separate today.
The latest call for submissions covers portable devices, which the group sees as a first step toward the larger goal of overall DRM interoperability.
