On a related note Google,Mozilla and Opera have joined to announce[1] a new open video format called webm [2]. It’s licensed using a BSD-style license. “WebM and the codecs it supports (VP8 video and Vorbis audio) require no royalty payments of any kind. Chromium, Firefox, and Opera builds are available today[3]. Chrome builds will shortly follow. No statement yet from Microsoft or Apple regarding support in their platforms. 1.http://webmproject.blogspot.com/2010/05/introducing-webm-open-web-media-project.html 2. http://www.webmproject.org/about/ 3. http://www.webmproject.org/users/ Regards, Pavithran -- pavithran sakamuri http://look-pavi.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
