        @drizztbsd Isn't MP4 proprietory and hence not open?

          @loqo "Proprietary" and "open" don't describe the problem w/ MPEG. Better phrase is "patent-encumbered"

            @samatjain Thank you for the interesting semantics. I shall give the alternative phrasing some consideration!

      @adundovi Common, that is really bad news. Don't like the # Waiting for an open format video site. # or # preferably.

        @littlet I think there's no problem with patent, as long as the implementation can be kept free and the profit goes for research

      Great article! We care about the present and future of the web, we are the pragmatists.

      @littlet Obey is our only option, if we can't create somethings better than H264. Theora and Webm is just a child's play for MPEG.

      VP8 isn't worse than MP4; the only problem is lack of hardware decoders.
