Hi, I really don't mind a flame war on this one - The Matroska container is way better than the Ogg container :P
On a more serious note, the open source Matroska container format is one that doesn't get the attention it deserves. I have to agree that Ogg is slightly better for streaming. But Ogg was designed with the Vorbis audio format in mind, and later tweaked to allow Theora video. It is hard to make it play anything else. Matroska on the other hand, is more or less future-proof - designed to handle almost anything. Its other capabilities are also impressive. Don't take my word - see their own intro : http://www.matroska.org/technical/whatis/index.html Regards, Gokul Das On Apr 13, 9:23 pm, prakreet <vipinmatth...@gmail.com> wrote: > we just discussed this matter yesterday n this article pops up today.. > wow.. if the news about google tv is right, this news most probably > will also be right.. it is just logical for google to open up its > codecs if they are going to create a thing like google tv.. lets > celebrate when the official announcement comes.. > > imagine if VP8 really goes open n ziph foundation gets VP8 into ogg > container.. even now ogg provides better audio clarity than mp3.. with > VP8 the video quality will also surpass any proprietary counterparts.. > then mayb a time will come when all the videos available on the web > will be ogg.. -- "Freedom is the only law".
