Stuart Lewis commented on DS-358:
---------------------------------
Jason Fowler:
I think the point about multiple encodings is especially important to discuss.
At this point that both Firefox 3.5 and Google Chrome support the Theora codec
natively, but no one knows what Opera, Apple, and Microsoft will eventually do
with their browsers.
One current framework that's helping extend the use of the video tag is Video
for Everybody! (http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody). The usability
approach taken by the framework's programmers relies on having two bitstreams,
one created using the patent-encumbered H.264 codec, and another created using
the open video codec, theora. On a side note, use of the H.264 codec could
become really pricey by 2011, when the MPEG LA begins enforcing licensing fees.
Personally, I hate the idea of having multiple encodings for accessibility
purposes, primarily because video is already a space hog. But I also think we
need to save the time of the reader (in this case, watcher), and if multiple
encodings can help that cause, it's worth considering.
