>From what I've read, "HTML5" is a container specification for a bunch of different, incompatible, and proprietary video codecs. I may be misinformed. The web does that. Is there a specific codec that is open source and compatible with all modern browsers? Are there open source tools that can convert image folders or old flash animations into the new codec format? I would LOVE to learn about them, and teach them to others. The last time I looked, the conversion process looked like a perpetual employment machine for code morlocks and a royalty stream for the patent trolls. I'm sure I don't know for sure. WHICH *SPECIFIC* CODEC? WHAT *SPECIFIC* LINUX TOOLS? WHAT AM I MISSING? I ask because I /know/ I am ignorant, and frightened of a paywalled Orwellian memory-hole future. Specific tools and examples and guidance will change me from a worrywart to an advocate. Does anyone have actual experience with this? This may be my hallway-track mission at OSCON.
