MPEG LA Announces Call for Patents Essential to VP8 Video Codec
(DENVER, CO, US – 10 February 2011) – MPEG LA, LLC, world leader in alternative one-stop patent licenses, announces a call for patents essential to the VP8 video codec specification used to deliver video images. The VP8 video codec is defined by the WebM Project at http://www.webmproject.org.
One question to Google: “Would you indemnify anyone who uses webM?”
Miro Video Converter is available at the Mac App Store.
I was looking into converting some videos into Google’s WebM format for comparison purposes. I first downloaded theWebM QuickTime Component from WebMProject.org but it never worked. Miro Video Converter turns out to be the one I need to create WebM videos for now. It is loaded with preset video format for quick conversion. It supports formats for Android Devices, iOS Devices and WebM among many.
Miro Video Converter is available for Mac OS X and Windows.
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.
