If you ever need to encode videos into WebM format, you can find the codec download at WebMProject.org.
I installed the WebM QuickTime component on my MacBook Pro and able to export to WebM format.
Currently I encode a lot of my videos into MPEG4 with h.264 codec.
According to The Chromium Blog:
…we are changing Chrome’s HTML5 <video> support to make it consistent with the codecs already supported by the open Chromium project. Specifically, we are supporting the WebM (VP8) and Theora video codecs, and will consider adding support for other high-quality open codecs in the future. Though H.264 plays an important role in video, as our goal is to enable open innovation, support for the codec will be removed and our resources directed towards completely open codec technologies.
So will Chrome still support Flash Player? Flash Player is the container for many video formats including h.264.
Does this mean Google would not support non-open/proprietary codec like h.264 but support a non-open/proprietary container like Flash?
Mac App Store has just launched, and I immediately searched for apps that I always installed on my Macs. A lot of them are not present yet at Mac App Store. No apps from Google, Mozilla, Skype, Adobe and many others.
Are they going to add their apps into Mac App Store later on?
Will Mozilla Foundations ever agree with Apple’s terms on Mac App Store?
