Hi guys! This is big! Google just open-sourced the On2 VP8 codec and formed a consortium around it: http://webmproject.blogspot.com/ http://www.webmproject.org/
the beta/nightly builds of Chrome, Firefox & Opera now support it as and HTML5 video tag codec and Flash will support it. Great news for the Open web! HTML5 video codec impasse is broken can finally move forward! I'm wondering at its CPU requirements though. Back when Macromedia was licensing the VP6 codec from On2 , they had the option to license the newer VP7 instead, but they went with VP6 because it was more CPU-friendly. VP7 compressed video better at higher quality, but it was more CPU-hungry. Given that history, there's a possibility that high-quality VP8 video might not run fast on the XO-1. Q: Has anyone here tried playing high-quality/resolution H.264 on the XO-1? What was your experience?
