That's true : Utopic now ships with libav-tools version 6:11~beta1-2, that is able to encode with VP9 codec inside a WebM container. Great!
For those using Trusty, there are a few ways to encode with VP9 anyway (without upgrading to Utopic or running it inside a virtual machine) : - compile libav 11 beta 1 under Trusty - use Utopic libraries inside a Docker container I explained these 2 options in http://blog.mossroy.fr/2014/09/03/encoder-des-videos-avec-le-codec-vp9-sur-ubuntu-trusty-en-utilisant-libav-et-docker/ (in French) , with some generated videos and comparisons with VP8 - it's certainly also possible to upgrade libav with a PPA, but I did not want to "pollute" my OS (some programs that depend on libav might be broken) Thanks for the upgrade in Utopic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1296378 Title: Activate VP9 codec in libav To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libav/+bug/1296378/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
