The WebM Video Format, the Google Webm Project

April 25, 2012 - PRLog -- WebM is an audio-video format designed to provide royalty-free, open video compression for use with HTML5 video.

WebM was proposed by Google, is an open source, free media file format. The WebM format is actually based on Matroska (MKV) container format based on the development of the new container format, which includes the VP8 and Ogg Vorbis. And Google has its VP8 video coding technology similar to BSD authorized to open source. Ogg Vorbis is an open source format. The standard WebM network video is based on the HTML5 standard, WebM project aims to network development of high quality, which focuses on video service is the core of network user experience. Google said WebM format is quite efficient, should be available on the netbook, tablet, hand-held device above smooth use.

Google registered WebMproject.org domain name in 2010-4-28, and in the 2010-5-19 released the first WebM project blog. 2012-4, WebM has been developed over a period of two years, and Google has used it in many places, especially on Youtube, most of Youtube video in 2011 has been updated to WebM format. Google gave up much before using the Flv format, instead of the open source WebM format, to be able to explain WebM at the network input and the video compression efficiency. Now Android system is fully compatible with the WebM format, Android device capable of directly browse the WebM video format. WebM related to the source code in WebM Project download.

But some media players still did not update WebM format code, cannot support the WebM format play. Here we recommend a free WebM player. You can download it here, and be very smooth to play WebM video format.

A lot of people in the hope that the WebM video download from Youtube can be edited by Some Video editor such as Windows Movie maker, iMovie, Sony Vegas, Premiere Pro. But most video editing software cannot support WebM. so We need to convert WebM to other conventional video formats, such as AVI, WMV, MP4. And Some people also hope that the WebM video format, can be keep watch on Ipod, Iphone, iPad.

One of the characteristics is that it converts WebM the format into other common video formats very quickly, as well as to you can think of these common video format used.
