| Takyoji | Anyone have the stance on the recent continuing implementation of HTML5-based video players, but with H.264 as the format, and Firefox being the one denying to implement a H.264 codec? | 22:17 |
|---|---|---|
| Takyoji | Mozilla* | 22:17 |
| _diablo | Wait, really? I thought Apple was the one that was preventing that? | 22:18 |
| _diablo | Do you have a link? | 22:18 |
| Takyoji | Apple and Google are the ones supposedly opposing the implementation of Ogg Theora | 22:19 |
| Takyoji | Mozilla is opposing to implementing H.264 | 22:19 |
| Takyoji | http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2010/01/bumps-ahead-as-vimeo-youtube-respond-to-html5-video-demand.ars | 22:20 |
| _diablo | ohhh, what is that? | 22:20 |
| * _diablo reads that | 22:20 | |
| Takyoji | So now it's Daily Motion and Vimeo with a HTML5-based viewer, next it'll hopefully be YouTube as well soon | 22:21 |
| kaimerra | YouTube has theirs in beta | 22:21 |
| _diablo | I'm already using Youtube's one | 22:21 |
| _diablo | yeah | 22:21 |
| kaimerra | http://www.youtube.com/html5 | 22:21 |
| Takyoji | I've seen it | 22:22 |
| Takyoji | The reason why Firefox isn't "supported" is because Firefox doesn't have a H.264 implementation supposedly. | 22:22 |
| Takyoji | Ahh; so they've changed it now then | 22:23 |
| Takyoji | That used to just be a single demo page originally | 22:23 |
| _diablo | yup | 22:27 |
| Takyoji | And Google Chrome itself on Linux isn't working with the HTML5 player apparently. :P | 22:29 |
| _diablo | true | 22:29 |
| _diablo | it sucks | 22:29 |
| _diablo | same with chromium actually | 22:29 |
| Takyoji | I have version 4 | 22:30 |
| _diablo | Version : 4.0.285.0 | 22:31 |
| _diablo | alright, I have a clear opinion now | 22:31 |
| _diablo | Go Mozilla! | 22:31 |
| _diablo | What is the point of a standard if you have to pay for it? | 22:32 |
| _diablo | It will kill firefox. | 22:32 |
| Takyoji | Isn't Google supposedly buying out the owner of H.264 though? | 22:32 |
| Takyoji | On2 Technologies | 22:32 |
| _diablo | Maybe, but that still means that it's proprietary. | 22:32 |
| _diablo | Do you really trust Google on this? | 22:32 |
| Takyoji | If the open it up, then it wouldn't be proprietary anymore I believe. | 22:35 |
| _diablo | "if they open it up" | 22:35 |
| Takyoji | (along with the patents surrounding it) | 22:35 |
| _diablo | agreed. But I'd rather have assurances going in. | 22:35 |
| _diablo | Which h.264 doesn't provide | 22:35 |
| _diablo | I don't know, I know I'm paranoid, but I really don't want web standards to burn open source | 22:38 |
| Takyoji | I know, I'd love it to be Ogg Theora as well | 22:41 |
| _diablo | It has to be. Ogg has just been getting better and better too | 22:41 |

| _diablo_active | Ah, nice. This should be able to ping me whenever anyone makes a message. This will make question answering much faster. | 23:15 |
