HTML5 finally a video standard!

Post by Num3 »

After some years of boxing over the video standard for the <video> html5 tag, all major players have come to an agreement!

WEBM!

It's a VP8 video codec + Vorbis Audio in a Matroska based container.
100% free and open source.

Google bought the VP8 codec last February and made it opensource :)
