And now I read that Google are removing H.264 in favour for it's own WebM format.
http://blog.chromium.org/2011/01/html-video-codec-support-in-chrome.html
Also some good comments on Pouet:
psonice:
The whole thing looks really shady to me actually. Not because of webm/patents/whatever else.. but hardware support. They say they're going to drop h264 support, but how many computers have a hardware webm decoder? Zero? All of those computers will go back to software decoding. Or more likely, flash.
Then what happens to android? All of the android phones have a hardware h264 decoder, and a weak mobile CPU. Switching them to webm is going to cripple performance and battery life.
If they're supporting webm AND h264, it makes plenty of sense. All they need to do is move youtube to webm (keeping h264 support for legacy devices), and specify webm hardware decoding as a requirement for future android handsets. It'll replace h264 by default.
trixter:
I honestly don't understand the webm craze. It's an inferior codec with an inconsistent reference implementation and there is no hardware support for it... When x264 added blu-ray compliancy last year, that was pretty much it. Nobody should be using anything other than h.264. And I fucking HATE Matroska, don't get me started.
kusma:
It seems that Google believes that if they just repeat that WebM doesn't infringe on any patents over and over again, then ultimately it becomes true.

What's the anti-troll code?
That's your personal code to be able to add comments and messages on the dhs.nu site.
Don't have a code or forgot it? Fix it here.
