[fsug-tvm] VP8 to be open sourced?
Hi, Just yesterday on the sidelines of FSUG meeting, we discussed the possibility of Google open sourcing the VP8 format/codec and the opportunities it could open. VP8 is more than major contender against the controversial H.264 format - the former is considered far superior in quality and efficiency. Coincidentally, news has started spreading around that Google is just about the do that. See this (From a slashdot post): http://newteevee.com/2010/04/12/google-to-open-source-vp8-for-html5-video/ This could be the big moment we were waiting for. Such an action by Google could set the HTML5 standard really free and make the future of Web multimedia really bright. But it is not yet time to celebrate. Google has not yet made any official announcement. This could be a rumour - or even worse, an intentional one intended at arm twisting Google into doing it. Can any member throw an insight into authenticity of this news? Regards, Gokul Das -- Freedom is the only law.

[fsug-tvm] VP8 to be open sourced?
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.
