Chromium Goes All In for Open Source Video

[ Thanks to jhansonxi for this link. ]

"About half a year after Google announced its WebM video codec at Google I/O, Chromium has made some interesting announcements on how the open-source browser project plans to support open-source video.

"Chromium Project Manager Mike Jazayeri writes that his team is "changing Chrome's HTML5 video support to make it consistent with the codecs already supported by the open Chromium project." That means WebM (VP8) will be supported, as will the open-source codec Theora. H.264, on the other hand, will be phased out."
