So it happened. Google releases the VP8 video codec and calls for an
open-source audio/video stack (VP8 + Vorbis) WebM. All youtube content
above 720p being converted and support for all major browsers being
worked on. I'm cheering for the unicorns and refuse to move on. I'd
like to be able to buy a video camera and not be subject to various
mutating restrictions a la what Apple excels at coming up with.
