Ottima notizia! Il mondo video online sterza verso l'apertura. Google ha dato seguito, oltre al resto, all'invito del 12 Marzo 2010 della Free Software Foundation: http://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/google-free-on2-vp8-for-youtube jc Written by * Ryan Lawler <http://newteevee.com/author/ryangigaom/> * Posted Monday, April 12, 2010 at 2:05 PM PT Google to Open-source VP8 for HTML5 Video <http://newteevee.com/2010/04/12/google-to-open-source-vp8-for-html5-video/> Google will soon make its VP8 video codec open source, we've learned from multiple sources. The company is scheduled to officially announce the release at its Google I/O <http://code.google.com/events/io/2010/> developers conference next month, a source with knowledge of the announcement said. And with that release, Mozilla --- maker of the Firefox browser --- and Google Chrome are expected to also announce support for HTML5 video playback using the new open codec. Google has controlled the VP8 codec ever since it finalized the acquisition <http://newteevee.com/2010/02/18/on2-shareholders-finally-agree-to-google-dea...> of video codec maker On2 Technologies in February. When reached for comment as to its plans, a Google spokesperson told us the company had "nothing to announce at this time." The move comes as online video publishers are gravitating toward standards-based HTML5 video delivery, bolstered in part by the release of the iPad. However, that acceptance has been slowed by the fact that the industry has yet to agree on a single codec for video playback, with some companies throwing support behind Ogg Theora <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theora> and others hailing H.264 as the future of web video.
