VP8 in MKV is now called WebM. VP8, Theora, and Dirac are royalty-free video codecs; Vorbis, Speex, FLAC, SILK, and CELT are open audio codecs (amongst some older ones). Of these, your highest chances of getting common support will be WebM and Ogg Vorbis (the first in a MKV container, the second in a Ogg container). While these codecs can certainly be used in other containers, there is no such common use, so you're better off sticking with the typical containers that they come in. But you should listen to Aryeh - you may find it hard to convince Apple and Microsoft to adopt these codecs. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
