,----[ Quote ]
| Apple's effort to leave the past behind, as

Growing pains afflict HTML5 standardization
,----[ Quote ]
| Listening to marketing messages from
| companies such as Apple and Google, one
| might think HTML5, the next-generation Web
| page standard, is ready to take the Net by
| storm.
|
| But the words of those producing the
| specification show an HTML governance
| process that can be stormy, fractious, and
| far from settled down. The World Wide Web
| Consortium's return to HTML standardization
| after years of absence has produced
| tensions with the more informal Web
| Hypertext Application Working Group
| (WHATWG) that shouldered the HTML burden
| during that absence.
|
| Some examples of language that's cropped up
| this month on the W3C's HTML Working Group
| mailing list: "childish," "intolerable,"
| "ridiculous," "shenanigans." And there's a
| concrete manifestation of the divisiveness:
| The WHATWG and W3C versions of the HTML5
| specification, though both stemming from
| the same source material, have diverged in
| some areas.
|
| [..]
|
| But where will those developers look to
| find that standard? The W3C, a recognized
| standards body that includes the
| participation of Microsoft and carries
| patent policy that attempts to ease patent-
| infringement worries?
|

|
| The HTML disputes come at a time when the
| W3C, under the leadership of new chief
| executive Jeff Jaffe, is trying to reclaim
| some of its power.
|
| "There is much new innovation, and the Web
| will benefit if the community brings their
| work to W3C," Jaffe said last week in a
| blog post, adding that the W3C is trying to
| become more agile and open.

FFmpeg gets its own implementation of Google's VP8 codec
,----[ Quote ]
| Developers Ronald Bultje, David Conrad, and
| Jason Garret-Glaser are creating a native
| VP8 video codec implementation for the open
| source FFmpeg project. The aim of this
| effort is to bring first-class VP8 support
| to FFmpeg and demonstrate the feasibility
| of producing an independent VP8
| implementation.

Googleâs VP8 video codec
,----[ Quote ]
| Now that the hype is over, letâs talk the
| real deal. How good is Googleâs VP8 video
| codec? Since âmultiple independent
| implementations help a standard mature
| quicker and become more useful to its
| usersâ, me and others (David for the
| decoder core and PPC optimizations, Jason
| for x86 optimizations) decided that we
| should implement a native VP8 decoder in
| FFmpeg.
