Google: convert YouTube videos, WebMate has begun!

After the announcement of the closure of Google Video, the boys from Mountain View announced that the conversion of videos on Youtube started and that was already converted 30% of the movies on the portal. For the uninitiated WebMate is a project developed by Google to support high-resolution video, commonly known as HD, using the VP8 video codec and Vorbis audio codec, all contained in a Matroska container-based and completely free.


Google still provides at least for the time being compatible with the H.264 codec, currently supported by Ienternet Explorer and Safari, but as we have seen have been released plug-ins to support WebMate by the two browsers mentioned above.
