Taking webm for a Spin

“I first blogged about webm the day Google released it. It has
taken some time but now I have full support for webm in my
preferred Linux desktop distro (Fedora 13). I’ve been doing some
testing and I have to say I’m impressed.

“Why even care about webm? Because I prefer to use royalty-free
file formats that are based on open standards and free / open
source software. Any other questions? 🙂

“I’ll cover both webm playback and encoding.

“Webm Playback

“As you may recall, several of the web browser makers also
announced upcoming webm playback support in their next major
releases. So far as I know, Opera is the only browser vendor thus
far that has released a production version that includes webm
support (Opera 10.6). Firefox and Chrome do offer webm support in
their beta releases.”
