Re: [Trisquel-users] H.265 video will cause more freedom issues than H.264

[tegskywalker]

Companies like Apple and Microsoft will not support WebM because they may get  
patent royalties from H.264 and H.265. The Safari browsers on Apple hardware  
only have support for H.264, but since WebM is not supported at the  
phone/tablet level, it becomes more of an issue as that is where the majority  
of users have moved to for their everyday needs.

Internet Explorer is a little better in that you can install a WebM codec for  
HTML5 video, but it requires a installation of a Google package that has the  
GoogleUpdate.exe process always running and checking with Google servers.
