It's amazing how a single error in the article (or typo? "H.265") immediately turned me off to the rest of it.

- btmorex 16y agoIt's because no one familiar with the technology would make that mistake (in other words, the author doesn't know what he's talking about). There are other H.26X codecs and they're quite different. It'd be like someone writing a review of Windows 6... oops typo meant 7.
- othermaciej 16y agoThe author either made a dumb mistake, or is being extra clever. H.265 is the in-development successor to H.264. It's probably true that, in the future, WebM's competition will be H.265, and his whole point is that you should make strategic choices based on future expectations, not just present state of the technology. I am not sure if he meant to make this point in an overly subtle way, or just got the name wrong. Edit: looks like he fixed the post, so he was sloppy, not clever.
