I don’t know i MS opposes WebM or not, but that doesn’t mean they support it: they have an API, you write a codec with that API and it works.
- kenjackson 15y agoFrom this page (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2011/03/16/html5-video-update-webm-for-ie9.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2011/03/16/html5-video-up...) they say, "IE9 supports HTML5 video using WebM for Windows customers who install third-party WebM support." From (http://blog.webmproject.org/2011/03/introducing-webm-in-internet-explorer-9.html http://blog.webmproject.org/2011/03/introducing-webm-in-inte...) the WebM team says, "Microsoft collaborated closely with us to make the components fully compatible with HTML5 in IE9, so features such as the <video> tag and its canPlayType method are fully enabled for WebM. Our thanks go out to the Microsoft engineers who provided technical assistance and hosted our team in Redmond last month." Does this sound like a company that opposes it?

- micampe 15y agoDid I ever say that they do? In this context I intend “support” as “endorse”. I don’t think they endorse it, or they would be shipping it with the browser. That doesn’t mean they oppose to it. They implemented an API that allows 3rd party codecs, that’s it.
