Theora supporters should be pleased with this. Theora is clearly better supported in browsers currently implementing the <video> element, but H.264 is way more common in the broader video environment, particularly in terms of hardware support and support outside the browser (in mobile devices, for example). It's much closer to being the de facto standard of the web than Theora is. -- Stephen Bain stephen.b...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
