Why IE9 Will Not Support Codecs Other Than H.264
jlp2097 writes "There is a new article up on Microsoft's IEBlog explaining why IE9 will support only the H.264 codec: 'First and most important, we think it is the best available video codec today for HTML5 for our customers. Relative to alternatives, H.264 maintains strong hardware support in PCs and mobile devices as well as a breadth of implementation in consumer electronics devices around the world, excellent video quality, scale of existing usage, availability of tools and content authoring systems, and overall industry momentum – each an important factor that contributes to our point of view. H.264 also provides the best certainty and clarity with respect to legal rights from the many companies that have patents in this area.'"
So IE9 will only support h.264, but the 360 still won't? Fix this ASAP Microsoft.
Good. Theora sucks ass and needs to die asap.
Microsoft park on the evil side as usual.
Because they are m0r0ns and will rely on someone else to develop the right plugin.
Maybe Computers will never be as intelligent as Humans.
For sure they won't ever become so stupid. [VR-1988]
their this is basic 3th grade English people!
You're an idiot, who let you into Slashdot? Only reason you don't care about patents and copyrights because you have zero understanding of it's impact on yourself which is apparently all you care about.
You have some pretty serious problems posting here. This is at least the third post that you've made in just this thread of discussion alone where you've corrected an earlier post of yours.
Given how wrong you often are, you should stop and re-think your near-religious stance on HTML5. With a small amount of critical analysis, you'll quickly find that your arguments are, to put it politely, utter bullshit.
Yeah... but *I* am not creating h.264 video. My camera is. And my camera (or rather, my camera's manufacturer) has a license.
I run: Windows, OS X, Linux, FreeBSD. Just because you have a hammer, doesn't mean everything is a nail.

Says it all right there. Pretty pitiful clone53421, and all because you badly lost a debate here on /., where you libeled me repeatedly as well with information from sources who tried the same in Jeremy Reimer and Jay Little (who only got caught email harassing me by their ISPs, had their websites with death threats & impersonations of myself removed in part or their entirely (3 of them no less, 3 times) by their hosting providers, and had law enforcement in their local areas notified on them both, due to such "geek angst based" death threats).

P.S.=> clone53421 - Seek help for your condition, please. However, I am not sure if there is a 'cure' or treatment for 'geek angst', lol... apk
