Why not another BPG-like based on VP9, then?
- IshKebab 11y agoThat's basically what WebP is.
- JoshTriplett 11y agoAs far as I know, WebP still uses VP8, not VP9.
- TD-Linux 11y agoWhich is a shame, because it could have big a big leap over JPEG instead of a sidegrade if they had waited a bit.
- ZeroGravitas 11y agoI think one based on VP10 is a possibility, since the Alliance for Open Media now includes all major browser makers except Apple, and a bunch of big websites. Currently the members seem to be working on converging VP10, Daala and Thor tech in the video realm but I'd guess images might be on their radar too.
- fnordfnordfnord 11y agoLooks like FLIF can do animations as well. http://flif.info/animation.html http://flif.info/animation.html
- jason_s 11y agoFLIF is encumbered by GPL which means it's not going to make it into any digital cameras.
- jaredcheeda 11y agoThe first official version of FLIF has not been released yet, and currently they are discussing releasing it under Apache 2 or MPL (Mozilla Public License).
- ksec 11y agoPlease Not MPL. Apache 2, so most company could understand, MPL they will have to spend a lot more time evaluating it. And I dont know of any popular project that uses MPL apart from Mozilla Firefox.
- jonsneyers 11y agoWe are probably going to change to Apache2 for the decoder, LGPLv3+ for the encoder.
- jabl 11y agoLibreOffice? Eigen (perhaps not "popular" unless you're interested in doing linear algebra with C++.. :-/ )? Surely there are others as well.. If you want a weak copyleft license, IMHO MPL-2.0 is about the best available at the moment, and relatively easy to follow.
- jason_s 11y agooh, good! :-)
