The same week that Microsoft released the final version of its browser Internet Explorer 9, Google offers to download a plug-in (add-on module that increases the functionality of a main program) that introduces the format WebM for viewing videos in the browser. Microsoft, in HTML5 option, support for such necessities H.264 format and your browser does not support the format natively supported byGoogle and Firefox.
A reciprocal, Microsoft launched this January, another plug-in for Google Chrome browser to use the H.264 format the same as Google's browser does not. Chrome does not support the H.264 codec, a proprietary compression format for video on the web. The company is committed to the solutions proposed by WebM and Theora, which are open source.
Google argues that "although H.264 plays an important role in the video, our goal is to enable open innovation." While this militancy in open source is not complete because Chrome supports Flash (which supports H.264). Other Google products, such as Android, have not abandoned this format.
H.264 is supported by Apple and Microsoft and is administered by MPEG-LA Consortium. Last year, Google released the VP8 codec within WebM project in collaboration with Firefox and Opera. MPEG, after hearing the announcement, said it would create a working group to study whether the new format infringed his patent.
MPEG does not charge license for the free distribution of videos and another in the event that payment is. Google, VP8 release announced that their use would have a notable restriction, they could not use those who chose to fight in court alleged breaches of industrial rights. Videos WebM are recognized by their extension.
WebM associating VP8 video format, audio, Ogg Vorbis and the resulting Matroska as a container. This decision is part of the implementation of the HTML5 language on the Internet. WebM also has the support of Adobe (owner of Flash), Skype, AMD, Logitech and others. One of the problems of Google's decision is that many cameras are equipped with H.264.
