Problem watching old videos

yes,if we talking about HW accelerated decoding than every manufacturer of such device have to comply,so mean they have to pay such licences.
Where Raspberry Pi did it a slightly different way,to keep the cost of device low as possible and also because it is not designed only for multimedia( and most of the people use it for different things) so they dont need such ability.
So RPi have the HW abilities to decode those codecs, but to unlock them you have to pay licensees and activate it in system.
So all of us have a cheap device and who needs those codecs,have to spend a few more quid (un)fortunately
