It would be interesting to analyse if Synaptics haven't stolen code from open source ffmpeg or VLC to do the compression.
I own two of their devices and some of the decomp fairies flittering through the gaming industry might just take a visit to their stack for some internal prodding…

In any other domain this would be called a protection racket.
