I care because I like Chrome and was enjoying using it to play H.264 video. I may switch to Safari.
I also care because I was very excited about the near ubiquity a video codec had finally reached in 2010. I don't want to go back to encoding for multiple formats (I hate you 3GP). I won't encode multiple formats until I have to, but the transition to a new standard is always painful and time consuming. If WebM "wins" I get to re-encode thousands of videos and since we now outsource that to Zencoder that means thousands of dollars to do so.
- jarek 16y agoSwitching away from a browser is realistically the most powerful way you can influence a browser maker's decisions these days. Do it if you feel strongly about the situation. (As an aside, price for outsourced video encoding is on order of magnitude close to dollars per video? I did not know that.)
- cdeutsch 16y agoIt's priced $.02 to $.05 per minute so depends on how long the content you have is. We have lots of training and event content which is typically longer then a YouTube clip.
