Affordable DVD burners had just hit the market and we were in the middle of a format war. Web video was limited ( Read More)

So while Adobe and Apple are having their little spat over Flash - Google swoops in with a new open source, royalty-free video format called WebM. This could be HUGE! Google has already announced that they will be converting 720p and higher res YouTube videos into WebM. WebM supports HTML5 and Flash, and hopefully will work great on my iPad. Sorenson and Telestream have already announced WebM support.
Introducing WebM, an open web media project (Read More)
