Today is Star Wars Day. May the 4th be with you. A Spaulding. Hey guys, when talking about H.264 vs. Ogg Theora, it’s worth noting that Ogg Theora simply isn’t very good. When encoding video in both formats at the same bitrate, Ogg Theora looks visibly worse than H.264 That is the reason why I have not rolled out HTML5 video on my websites: Most of my visitors use Firefox and therefore would be watching the Ogg Theora version. I’m not willing to let them suffer the crappy image quality, therefore I’m sticking with Flash-wrapped H.264 for now. Bye, keep it up, Hi Gang, as always, love the show!

Bye, keep it up, Hi Gang, Thought i’d chime in as this is the kind of stuff I deal with in my daytime job all the time (how could i help but write about it?). First off, hand to heart – i thought you guys did a great job recapping what most people find extremely murky at best. you’re findings were spot on, though there were missing a couple of points that i thought i’d add: 1) the support for H.264 in IE9 only was really a bigger slap at the fact that IE9 will not support VC-1, microsoft’s own codec that they pushed so hard against H.264 for so long. Sure, it mostly died with the death of HDDVD, but its still around and many people do use it, so to hear with their forward looking roadmap that even they are deprecating support of it, its a clear indication that its pretty much abandoned. 2) Also not mentioned in any of this is the high likelihood that Google will be open sourcing VP8 in the next few weeks. VP8 (as we all remember) was part of what the received in the acquisition of On2, creators of several codecs over the years (including the stuff Ogg Theora is actually built on – once upon a time it was called VP3). If they truly do open source it, they are also highly likely to make a move (in there ongoing pissing match with apple) to move all youtube content over to VP8 at some point. Let’s think about that implication for a minute (crikey). as always, love the show! your ever vigilant video geek,
