Asa Dotzler: Firefox and more: a browser prediction: the modern era of the web

Asa Dotzler: Firefox and more: a browser prediction: the modern era of the web


"Having said that, wouldn't it be neat if at the end of this year, IE 6 and IE 7 were both under 10% share? With IE 6 and 7 quickly disappearing, will we look back at 2010 and say "there began the Modern Era of the Web"?"

Asa Dotzler: Firefox and more: theora video vs. h264

Asa Dotzler: Firefox and more: theora video vs. h264: "Firefox now has a pretty nice set of audio and video controls that are certainly ready for an initial launch. The DOM APIs, while not complete, are good enough that we built our browser controls using them and people are able to do some pretty cool demos and even final implementations with them. The Xiph QT Component, a tool that brings Ogg/Theora Vorbis to QuickTime-capable apps has just had another release that brings it up to speed with the Theora 1.0 release and fixes some key bugs. (And another release is expected soon.) Theora 1.1 alpha 2 has made some really big gains for video encoding quality.

And, we're about to ship these capabilities to 300 million Internet users.

So, what about quality. First, it's important to note that when we talk about video on the Web, quality has to be paired with size. So, what kind of quality can you get from Theora in a comparable file size to H.264 -- the latest and greatest of the not-Open video codecs."
