H.264 is just the latest version of MPEG4, also known as MPEG4 version 10. This allows for the highest possible video quality in the least amount of space.

well most stock sites charge anywhere from 50 cent's to 5 buck per photo!
I say if it's a company who wants them they are going to make money off them or they won't get them!
so you do the same in return!
tell them they can buy the photo cd with 100 photo's of their choice for 200 bucks!

Hahaha. No, the researcher is not getting royalties. Actually, many journals CHARGE the researcher to publish their paper – I'm paying $150 a page for my latest paper (that's one of the reasons the language is often so obtuse – when you're literally paying by the word, you try to be as concise as possible).
No, most of it goes into the costs of publishing (especially when they have a small audience to begin with) and paying the journal editors a pittance to do the job (people take it more for the respect it offers than the small salary that comes with it). Paper referees, who do a lot of the work, don't get paid at all – it's an honor to be asked to do it (supposedly – often, it's just a pain).
If you want to get it for free, your library probably has an inter-library loan service – they can get you a photocopy from another school, if you don't mind waiting a few days.
