I absconded with a friends copy of HTML5 and CSS3 a PragProg book.
I was struck how the very last chapter, very last section of the book, dealing with how to encode video for the web was dealt with. The gist: “this is a difficult topic, so just run this code:”
tells me: webm is a container format (like matroska) and inside that shove vp8 for video codec and libvorbis for audio
That simple example explained to me what I needed to know and inspired me to abscond with the book for week to yank out other gems of knowledge and evaluate if we needed a copy of this for GINA
The book is in the mail. .. I’ll come back and add more later as I transition this page to html5.
