AV1 and the Video Wars of 2027 – Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog
Author’s Note: This post imagines a dystopian future for web video, if we continue to rely on patented codecs to transmit media files. What if one company had a perpetual monopoly on those patents? How could it limit our access to media and culture? The premise of this cautionary tale is grounded in fact. However, the future scenario is fiction, and the entities and events portrayed are not intend

The Invisible Patents in Your Holiday Shopping Cart – Open Policy & Advocacy
Despite the amount of technology in a shiny new smartphone, it’s hard not to feel a bit of sticker shock when buying one. Here’s something that may be even more shocking: as much as one third of what you paid for that new smartphone goes not for hardware but to pay patent royalties to companies you may not have even heard of. This holiday season, we invite you to spend a few minutes getting to kno
PatentQuest
Patents are challenging for open-source software. But that doesn't mean they aren't challenging for others, too! Thankfully, the heroes from our most beloved RPGs and stories never had to deal with patents. But what if they did? Controls: arrow keys to move, spacebar to select/advance dialogue, hold "down" arrow key to increase dialogue speed Confused about the story? Read the Spoilers! (show) Rum
モバイルWebでH.264がデファクトスタンダードになった件について思ったこと - saneyuki_s log
Mozilla が H.264 をサポートへ、webM 一本化を断念 - Engadget Japanese Mozilla の H.264 サポートについてのメモ - hogehoge @teramako この記事、Twitterとかはてブを見ると結構衝撃的に受け入れられたみたいだけど、engadgetが記事にする数日前にCNETが似たような記事を書いていたし、更にその数日前には「OSプラットフォームに組み込まれたコーデックを使う為にMPAPIというAPIを用意するのはどうだろうか？」という大元の議論の存在も知っていたので、engadget の記事についてはさほど衝撃ではなかった。 engadetの記事については「現時点においては」若干の語弊が含まれる。Mozillaは確かにH.264をサポートするとは言ったけど、現時点ではあくまでもモバイル分野に限る話でありデスクトップ版の Firef
Video, user experience and our mission | Mitchell's Blog
Mozilla is on the cusp of changing our policy about our use of video codecs and making use of a format known as “H.264.” We have tried to avoid this for a number of years, as H.264 is encumbered by patents. The state of video on the Web today and in mobile devices in particular is pushing us to change our policy. Brendan has written a post detailing why many of us have come to support this posi

hardware-accelerated audio/video decoding in Gecko (bug 714408) - mozilla.dev.platform
I want to land bug 714408 on mozilla-central as soon as I get review for it. It adds hardware-accelerated audio/video decoding support to Gecko using system decoders already present on the system. Android, for example, ships by default with a number of decoders, and in particular for such mobile devices we really have to use these hardware-accelerated decoders for good battery life (and performanc
Mozilla to Join Tomorrow's Virtual Protests of PIPA/SOPA | The Mozilla Blog
Starting at 8:00 am Eastern tomorrow, Mozilla will join with other sites in a virtual strike to protest the Protect IP Act (PIPA) and Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). These bills protect content at all costs, creating the opportunity for abuse and damaging the Web for all of us. We will be blacking out the default start page in Firefox and redirecting key Mozilla websites to a special action page. B
shaver » HTML5 video and codecs
Recently, Vimeo and YouTube announced that they were moving to support the HTML5 video tag, as DailyMotion did last summer. This is an important step in making video a first-class citizen of the modern web, and that is great news. Unlike DailyMotion, however, Vimeo and YouTube chose to rely on the patented H.264 video encoding, rather than an unencumbered encoding like Ogg Theora. This means that
