“Microsoft Boosts HTML5 Video for Firefox on Windows 7”
the last try in my opinion to prevent WebM got market leader… I wonder that realtime(yes! they are still living!) doesn’t start a new attack.
have you seen abybody who cares about webm?
MPEG LA made some efforts to convince people that they will start charging for 264 not soon. for most decision makers it is all that matters – they can use 264 now, and ignore all other things
webm without hardware support will never start up (without it it will suck batterys and suck in performance on mobiles). and i dont recall seeing tegra2 nor apple’s a9 supporting webm
google will push webm – a little, small browser (opera) will use it because it cannot afford h264, but big players – ms/apple – will stick to 264 (because they CAN afford it – thus eliminating small browsers, and because 264 can be hw accelerated, this being very important for their mobile business). android does not have webm decoder at this point, one would expect google to include it..
nobody cares about webm, some talk a lot, but it does not translate into action. without hw support – there could be no video codec nowadays
there is also issue of patent infringements, and poor quality. who will settle for less if better is available (currently for free and with great authoring tools that webm lacks (and noone seems to be making))
