Hm, are you sure? 

OBMC is in the ISO Standard, but it isn't part of any MPEG-4 profile, so
using OBMC breaks MPEG-4 compatability.  There are no codecs outside that
use it, as far as I know, it could be removed from MPEG-4 at any time.

Why add a feature that won't be used for decoding and shouldn't be use for
encoding?
