The debate has been raging and there is no answer as to which standard is the future of HTML5 video. It is a typical open vs. proprietary debate. Steve Jobs and Apple support it even though it is proprietary, while calling Flash as not open. Apple has some patents in H.264. Firefox supports only Ogg Theora. Safari supports only H.264. Google Chrome, both. But, well we don’t know what’s best for the internet. May be the answer lies in Google VP8 and it will be answered after May 18th. May be it won’t.
Here are multiple viewpoints on the Ogg Theora vs H.264 debate, if you really care that is.
The audio is a bit low. Please pardon!
