Ogg Theora+Vorbis as default for <video> scuttled in HTML5 spec. Who benefits?
,----[ Quote ]
| Ian Hickson, speaking for the HTML5 working group, recently announced that he
| removed the suggested Ogg Theora+Vorbis language from the HTML5
| specification. The replacement language says that there should be
| unencumbered common audio and video formats in HTML but it doesnât suggest
| any specific means of accomplishing that.
|
| How did this situation come to pass? What happened between the time this spec
| was drafted and now? Corporate influence, in a nutshell. Apple and Nokiaâs
| complaints have found an ear with those working on HTML specs.
|
| What can you do to stop this? Raise the issue far and wide with everyone,
| even non-technical computer users. Itâs time that these issues no longer live
| exclusively in the realm where only geeks tread.
|
| Apple and Nokia never liked the language supporting Ogg Vorbis+Theora codecs.
| Nokia lied by claiming Ogg Vorbis and Theora were âproprietaryâ. What Nokia
| probably meant is that the evolution of the Vorbis and Theora codecs were not
| under the control of a corporate board which Nokia could become a member (and
| thus have a hand in controlling how Theora and Vorbis improve). Ogg
| Theora+Vorbis specifications are available for anyone to use for any purpose.
