FSFE Newsletter - June 2010

,----[ Quote ]
| Good news about open video formats. In 
| March both our sister organisation the FSF 
| and our associated organisation FFII asked 
| Google to free the video codec vp8 and use 
| it on YouTube. This month Google announced 
| they will do so. From now on users will be 
| able use Free Software to play and encode 
| the new WebM format. "WebM is based on the 
| Matroska container format -- replacing Ogg 
| -- and the VP8 video codec which replaces 
| Theora. Crucially, the Vorbis audio codec 
| is part of the new WebM specification."

FFmpeg 0.6 Has Support for VP8, WebM, HTML5

| Dubbed "Works with HTML5," the brand-new 
| release of FFmpeg brings lots of highly 
| anticipated features. Announced last 
| evening, June 15th, FFmpeg 0.6 improves 
| the support for HTML5 video, has a better 
| Vorbis decoder, and faster Theora and 
| H.264 decoders. The most important feature 
| of this release is the support for

| demuxer has been updated to support the 
| WebM container.
