MPEG-1 Licensing

I don’t know if this is the correct forum for this but, I’ve found the
Licensing agreement for MPEG-2, decoding is about 2.50 a machine, at
http://www.mpegla.com. However, I have yet to find anything about
patent royalties for MPEG-1 or for that matter, any conclusive info on
MPEG-4. Does anyone know if MPEG-1 can be used
commercially/non-commercially free and clear or are there patent
royalties?
Thank you,
Robert

mpeg-la is the place to go for those licenses as well.
