VP8 already has hardware decoder chip support, so that isn't an issue. Patents aren't an issue, since Google has dealt with that. Nevertheless, Firefox already has support for it in the trunk, Opera released a labs build that adds a GStreamer plugin for WebM to their builds, and Chrome trunk added support for it. Adobe announced support for VP8 in a future version of Flash, and probably Silverlight will have it too. Whether they'll include complete WebM support is unknown, though. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
