SubscribeWebm/VP8 on the loose
Hello– Viddler’s Defender of Castles/TheTodd/@xtat here.
VP8 has come to public release and browsers are lining up support. The codec is not perfect, but there is significant value in a truly free codec for the world’s video, and this is an exciting time.
I took some time yesterday to build an encoder for this format and if there is significant interest, we will include encoding to Webm/VP8 with Viddler’s HTML5 support.
A sample video encoded with VP8/Vorbis(Webm) is attached to the bottom of this post, though it will only be viewable if you have a browser recently patched for vp8 support such as a nightly chrome build.
