Introducing the Ogg
,----[ Quote ]
| Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you
| the official mascot of OggCamp, the Ogg! I
| came up with this little fella because we
| needed something to decorate the merchandise
| for the event and I think mascots are cool.
|
| As Iâve already established with Dan, Oggs
| live on a steady diet of puffles, chips and
| of course, beer. They usually spend their day
| listening to podcasts, mostly UUPC and Linux
| Outlaws, and generally looking cool. They are
| born on the mysterious island of Ardour
| (somewhere off the coast off France) and when
| they die, they go to Ogg heaven which they
| call The Vorbis. You will see lots of these
| little guys around OggCamp this year, I
| think.

Google to Open-source VP8 for HTML5 Video
,----[ Quote ]
| Google will soon make its VP8 video codec
| open source, weâve learned from multiple
| sources. The company is scheduled to
| officially announce the release at its Google
| I/O developers conference next month, a
| source with knowledge of the announcement
| said. And with that release, Mozilla â maker
| of the Firefox browser â and Google Chrome
| are expected to also announce support for
| HTML5 video playback using the new open
| codec.

Interesting times for Video on the Web
,----[ Quote ]
| If I told you that Google had helped fund
| an ARM code optimised version of the Theora
| video codec, most peopleâs reaction would
| be immediately to skip forward to the next
| blog entry. Audio and video codecs are the
| classic example of things that no one cares
| about, until they donât work.
|
| Ask most computer users what their
| preferred video codec is and theyâll look
| at you as if you asked what sort of motor
| theyâd prefer in their washing machine. âWe
| just want it to work!â they say. In this
| regard, itâs exactly the same for content
| creators and publishers. Every visitor to a
| website that canât view a video is one set
| of eyeballs less for a message to get
| through to. It doesnât matter how clever
| the advertising is, how much time is spent
| honing the message or how many clever viral
| tricks are deployed to attract surfers to
| the site, the moment the page opens up with
| a big blank box where the content should
| be, all that has been in vain.
|
| [...]
|
| Fortunately, there is some good news in the
| form of HTML 5. This new version of HTML
| (the basic language used to write webpages)
| introduces a video element.

Apple Slaps Developers In The Face
,----[ Quote ]
| The fact that Apple would make such a
| hostile and despicable move like this
| clearly shows the difference between our
| two companies.

,----[ Quote ]
| In many ways, HTML5 is an attempt to bring
| order to many of the features and behaviors
| that have become the norm in recent years.
| This section highlights some of the more
| compelling additions.
