Dear all, > Fyi … > http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/google-launches-open-webm-web-video-format-based-on-vp8/ Indeed, it was for me one of the highlight of yesterday's Google IO keynote. I was excited by the news, given the support it receives: Mozilla, Opera, Google + Adobe (Flash), therefore IE and Safari. But then, I read this blog post: "The first in-depth technical analysis of VP8", http://x264dev.multimedia.cx/?p=377 which I recommend to read ... The author wrote: "VP8 would be 'H.264 Baseline Profile with a better entropy coder', better than theora ... but the main problem of patent will still be here given the resemblance with H264." I would be happy to get the opinion of Davy who has more deep knowledge of how codecs work ...
