YouTube Revamp Imminent?

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday January 13, 2010 @02:49PM from the how-about-3D dept.

An anonymous reader writes "YouTube's latest blog post indicated that some changes are on the way. Google has opened up a call to submit and vote on ideas. HTML 5 open video with Free formats has dominated the vote, maintaining over twice as many votes as the next-highest item almost since the vote opened up. You may vote here (Google login required). Perhaps we don't even need to since their blog post comes suspiciously soon after their revised merger with On2. Could these improvements be a completely overhauled YouTube 2.0?"

Re:HTML5 for the win? Sorry, that's not a codec. by tomhudson · 2010-01-13 15:42 · Score: 1, Troll

Standards are good... but we're still in a format war over HMTL5 that makes it nearly impossible to implement it right now.

I think that, given Youtube's weight, any codec Google chose would probably win the format war.

"I think that, given Yutube's volume of crap, any codec Google chose would probably be on a blocklist."
There, fixed it for you.
