webm and i-club
 

I vote we start using webm on the forum. They are much higher quality than gifs.

Benefits of WebM
Openness and innovation. A key factor in the web’s success is that its core technologies such as HTML, HTTP, and TCP/IP are open for anyone to implement and improve. With video being core to the web experience, a high-quality, open video format choice is needed. WebM is 100% free, and open-sourced under a BSD-style license.

Optimized for the web. Serving video on the web is different from traditional broadcast and offline mediums. Existing video formats were designed to serve the needs of these mediums and do it very well. WebM is focused on addressing the unique needs of serving video on the web.

Low computational footprint to enable playback on any device, including low-power netbooks, handhelds, tablets, etc.

Simple container format

Highest quality real-time video delivery

Click and encode. Minimal codec profiles and sub-options. When possible, let the encoder make the tough choices.

Hey,

I have no idea if IB is looking at new audio/video container formats. I'll see what I can find out. Thanks.
