Page "Audio Video Standard" Paragraph 4

According to the state-run media, a key consideration of AVS was to reduce foreign dependence on core intellectual properties used in digital media technology.

Proposed as a national standard in 2004, AVS had a targeted royalty of 1 RMB ( or about $ 0. 10 USD ) per player.

On April 30, 2005, AVS standard video officially passed the public show and became the national standard.
