keep in mind that is from a x264/ffmpeg developer. so I'll bite, x264/ffmpeg developers are jack-ass idiots. complaints from them about poor documentation or "shit changes too much" should just be laughed at, since they do the same. anyway, VP8 is definitely better compression-wise than Theora an Dirac, so if it's claim to being patent-free does stand up, it's an upgrade with regard to patent-free video formats. and that's what matters. considering the ffmpeg devs also claimed theora's code could be considered to fall under other MPEG patents, and no lawsuits were filed, I find it unlikely google will face much legal issues. and if they do, well, it'll be interesting to see google and ms duel it out ... -- [email protected] SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
