VP8 Codec Coming To FFmpeg

Posted by kdawson on Monday June 28, 2010 @12:07AM from the small-fast dept.

Jim Buzbee writes "Interested in Google's VP8 codec? Well, so were the FFmpeg guys, so they went ahead and wrote their own native decoder in only 1,400 lines of unique code. They were able to keep the line-count low by relying on heavy reuse from the existing H.264 codebase."

Do you really expect me to open .cx links posted on Slashdot? I got burned once, many years ago, and it was horrible. I am never touching a .cx domain for as long as I live.

Actually I was reading that comment as sarcastic. Maybe that is what the moderators were doing as well.

Well obviously i took over someone else's account, but you can hardly blame me, who wouldn't be tempted by a 5 digit UID on a Internet forum. /sarcasm
