| -> babox has joined webapps | ||
| EspenAO | Hello all | |
| Remco | More Opera people | |
| 10:52 | aleksanteri | hey babox |
| babox | hi aleksanteri | |
| andyo | Opera for president! | |
| profit | Of what?.. | |
| 10:53 | Remco | Everything of course |
| 10:54 | profit | Opera that has taken over the world... Dreams, dreams.. |
| aleksanteri | lol | |
| nicomen | better than nightmares | |
| aleksanteri | woo 5 minutes to go | |
| 10:55 | profit | Nighmare for MS .. |
| nicomen sets user mode +o: thomfo is now a room operator | ||
| nicomen sets user mode +o: EspenAO is now a room operator | ||
| aleksanteri | 5 minutes is too much | |

| 10:57 | Aux | <: |
| Aux | I made a mess of my friend in Q3 | |
| 10:58 | Aux | so now I can talk (: |
| -> howcome has joined webapps | ||
| 10:59 | ReWiz | just another post about Opera-video: http://my.opera.com/ResearchWizard/blog/experimental-opera-video-build-with-native-ogg-theora-support |
| -> GothicWizard has joined webapps | ||
| aleksanteri | welcome Håkon | |
| sil | aha, the man of the hour arrives. | |
| <- profit has disconnected (Ping timeout) | ||
| howcome | So, we all agree then, video is important? | |
| aleksanteri | yep | |
| andyo | ||
| 11:00 | sil | yes. |
| howcome | Good! | |
| Aux | and we need slider to move video forward and backward (: | |
| -> Guille has joined webapps | ||
| howcome | re. slider, yes. Should it be one of the basic widgets that you can get withoug porgramming JavaScript? | |
| 11:01 | sil | I'd say to not embed a slider, because then it's more difficult to theme later, personally. |
| andyo | I agree | |
| aleksanteri | yeah me too | |
| 11:02 | sil | Although the big problem here is getting everyone to agree on a format, as per our huge discussion on the whatwg list |
| howcome | The spec currently states: "User agents may provide controls to affect playback of the media resource (e.g. play, pause, seeking, and volume controls),..." | |
| sil | howcome: I thought "may" was a weird thing to say there, because that means that a site designer can't know whether the browser's already provided controls or whether she has to do it herself | |
| ReWiz | The slider shout either be basic or with simple (predefined) JS. | |
| 11:03 | howcome | Re format: yes, that's the probem. |
| aleksanteri pokes nicomen | ||
| Aux | ooh! | |
| Aux | attributes! | |
| -> runeh has joined webapps | ||
| aleksanteri | hello runeh | |
| ChanServ sets user mode +o: runeh is now a room operator | ||
| ChanServ sets user mode +a runeh | ||
| Aux | <video type="video" src="movie.ogg" /> | |
| <- runeh has left webapps | ||
| Aux | <video type="play_button" /> | |
| -> runeh has joined webapps | ||
| ChanServ sets user mode +o: runeh is now a room operator | ||
| ChanServ sets user mode +a runeh | ||
| Aux | and so on | |
| Aux | and CSS will help us! | |
| 11:04 | Aux | <video type="slider_bar"><video type="slider" /></video> (: |
| Aux | something like that | |
| howcome | CSS is part of the picture. One of the reasons why I want a new <video> tag instead of <object> is that I'd like to say: video { display: none } | |
| 11:05 | sil | Aux: then it's not a <video> element, though; it's a whole series of <video> elements each of which provides a different widget, at which point you're surely just reinventing HTML5. |
| aleksanteri | <input type="range"> | |
| Aux | input maybe (: | |
| aleksanteri | /> * | |
| Aux | or <videocontrol type="blabla" /> | |
| <- Kleevah has disconnected (Ping timeout) | ||
| howcome | What to people think of Ogg Theora? Have you used it? | |
| -> profit has joined webapps | ||
| Aux | <videocontrol type="foo" for="bar" /> | |
| Aux | just like <label> | |
| aleksanteri | yeah that'd work too | |
| aleksanteri | howcome: i'd say no | |
| -> Kleevah has joined webapps | ||
| 11:06 | howcome | NO? |
| Aux | NO! | |
| sil | Ogg's good for on-the-web video, reasonably sized, and most importantly *can* be implemented anywhere (Apple's concerns about submarine patents not withstanding) | |
| aleksanteri | hm | |
| Aux | video should be ALLWAYS full screen | |
| Aux | ALWAYS porn | |
| Orcinus | object[type^="video"] { display: none; } | |
| Aux | and nonskipable | |
| Aux | (: | |
| aleksanteri | Aux: what about all those coolio documentatiories? =( (ok i admit i don't watch documentatiories on the web) | |
| 11:07 | howcome | Orcinus: your solution depen on people remembering the attribute -- often they don't |
| Aux | me too | |
| sil | There isn't an equivalent format that could even theoretically go into all browsers, which means that if we "let the market decide" we'll end up with mp4 or wmv and some people will be left out in the cold. | |
| Orcinus | howcome: that's not really an excuse | |
| aleksanteri | hmmm on that point ogg should be put | |
| Aux | hmmm... | |
| ReWiz | howcome: With my tests of Opera-video I experienced some performance issues with Ogg Theora | |
| Aux | since everyone is just crazy about XML then why not make XML-based video? | |
| 11:08 | howcome | Orincus, you mean real world experiece shouldn't be taken into account |
| Aux | with binary stream encoded as HTML entities (: | |
| Orcinus | The fact that people still like to code HTML and CSS by hand is something the original authors of the specs did not expect. These things were meant to be easy for a program to create based on user's desires. | |
| Remco | ReWiz: I've seen that here too, I couldn't even play the abba video without it being choppy | |
| howcome | ReWiz: people have reported performance issues, but our developers don't agree. Could you elaborate? | |
| 11:09 | Remco | 100% does the trick here |
| Remco | *CPU | |
| ReWiz | howcome: uses pretty high CPU, even with being not fullscreen | |
| howcome | Orincus: you're right, TimBL thought we'd all be using high-levele editors. They don't, though. | |
| aleksanteri | yeah | |
| andyo | howcome: will there be a "video-build" for linux any time soon? | |
| ReWiz | howcome: I made some remarks about this in my post | |
| Orcinus | howcome: Creating new elements doesn't make that goal any easier | |
| howcome | ReWiz: have you compared it with VLC's CPU usage? | |
| 11:10 | howcome | ReWiz, could you send the URL to your post? |
| Remco | http://my.opera.com/ResearchWizard/blog/experimental-opera-video-build-with-native-ogg-theora-support | |
| Remco | That one | |
| ReWiz | howcome: Yes, while Opera was pretty bad VLC did a better job still using pretty high CPU | |
| ReWiz | Remco: thanks | |
| 11:11 | howcome | andyo: I'd like to get a linux build out -- I've just installed Ununtu Feisty on the machine I'm typing this on... |
| andyo | ||
| howcome | Remco: great post! | |
| 11:12 | ReWiz | howcome: thanks |
| howcome | Any views on Dirac? | |
| profit | howcome, Experimental video build of Opera used a huge SDL framwork for playing Ogg. Are you playing to implement codecs for Ogg (theora) of your own, or going to keep on with SDL ? | |
| 11:13 | sil | howcome: pretty brave depending on something that ain't ready yet. |
| andyo | howcome: when, do you think, can we expect <video> in opera? v.10? | |
| howcome | Also, I'd like to discuss how we can get more Ogg content out there. It's great that Wikipedia has chosen it. When people can't see Wikipedia in their browser, they may reconsider. | |
| 11:14 | Aux | khm, we have a blog with short movies in Latvia |
| Kleevah | howcome: make a youtube ripoff... | |
| Aux | and we may use ogg | |
| Aux | right now it is FLV | |
| andyo | yes.. wikipedia will be perfect for this.. I personally love that they have ogg on their pages | |
| Aux | the question is: is OGG smaller then FLV? | |
| howcome | I leave it our implementors to decide which codes to use and how to wrap i up. I'm more interested in the markup and formats myself. It's a big enough job in itself | |
| 11:15 | ReWiz | One small thing would be video-albums with my.opera.com |
| sil | howcome: talk to YouTube is one way to do it, certainly. There's another video site (can't remember the name! begins in b!) which uses FLV but also makes theora available. | |
| Aux | nice idea ReWiz | |
| Aux | video blogging at my.opera.com - nice! | |
| profit | Hmm, AFAIK SDL is OpenSource, and can have some limititationsd about using it in closed source (not sure).. | |
| 11:16 | sil | profit: nope, SDL is LGPL licenced, so using it in closed source products is OK. |
| profit | I thought that was the reason why you LGPLed that build.. | |
| profit | Aha.. See know. | |
| howcome | andyo: Re: <video> in opera: we've been very clear that our support for <video> is experimental. Also, the spec has changed since we did our initial implementation. We'll continue talking to Mozilla and others to build support. I don't know when we will be shipping. | |
| andyo | ok | |
| 11:17 | Aux | howcome: will there be any possibility for some effects on video like CSS opacity and so on? |
| Remco | The example already has that | |
| 11:18 | andyo | wow way cool |
| profit is much more interested about combining video with SVG.. | ||
| sil | howcome: difficult to know whether we need <video> support in browsers first or video out there to view. I'm inclined to say get support in browsers (at least somehow) first, so then sites using <video> can say "install XYZ to get these videos easily" | |
| profit | Or canvas, maybe.. | |
| howcome | We have to be careful not to ship things until there is rough consensus. Otherwise, people could mistake us for being MS | |
| sil laughs | ||
| andyo | haha | |
| 11:19 | -> albertrosa has joined webapps | |
| howcome | I can see the use of opacity. Anything else? | |
| Aux | Opera Corporation have taken over the world, everyone is obliged to watch OGG (: | |
| Aux | khm, does OGG support semi-transparent areas? | |
| Aux | that would bevery nice (: | |
| 11:20 | sil | clipping might be useful. |
| andyo | skewing! | |
| Aux | built-in photoshop? | |
| Aux | <: | |
| profit | SVG-filters!.. | |
| aleksanteri | hey albertrosa | |
| aleksanteri | yeah! SVG!! | |
| olli | <blink><video src="damer.ogg#></blink> would this work? hmm | |
| -> Mitchman has joined webapps | ||
| 11:21 | howcome | profit: Yes, we are supporting video in SVG as well |
| Aux | <marquee><video src="damer.ogg#></marquee> (: | |
| Gautam sets user mode +o: Mitchman is now a room operator | ||
| Guille | howcome: are you planning to recommend a ogg format to the audio element too? | |
| profit sees a whole new front for flashing, blinking and annoying ads here.. | ||
| aleksanteri | hi Mitchman | |
| olli | profit: yeah | |
| aleksanteri | Gautam: you forgot the main one | |
| Gautam sets user mode +o: howcome is now a room operator | ||
| andyo | profit: content-blocking ftw | |
| Kleevah | vorbis? are there others? | |
| 11:22 | sil | Kleevah: flac. |
| howcome | Guille: the HTML5 spec says: User agents should support Ogg Theora video and Ogg Vorbis audio, as well as the Ogg container format. | |
| Kleevah | ah | |
| andyo | would the audio and video be separate then? | |
| -> Toman- has joined webapps | ||
| andyo | I mean, could it be seperatly controlled? | |
| howcome | Yes, there is a separate audio element | |
| 11:23 | howcome | http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#video |
| Aux | howcome: I think that it would be nice to have some HTML attribute inside <video> to mark one frame which will be shown like a video previewimage on YouTube | |
| howcome | http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#audio | |
| aleksanteri | <audio>, <video>, what's next? | |
| sil | howcome: if the user agent doesn't provide *configurable* widgets (like sliders, etc) then there barely is any markup, is there? Just a video element with a src and a type and that's it... | |
| profit | <smell> ? | |
| aleksanteri | lol | |
| Aux | aleksanteri: <game> (: | |
| Kleevah | <4d> | |
| aleksanteri | ||
| 11:24 | aleksanteri | <game> i mean |
| howcome | Aux: that may be a good idea. Unless you specify the last frame | |
| olli | Aux: thats canvas | |
| Aux | (: | |
| aleksanteri | oh yeah forgot <canvas> | |
| Aux | <canvas> on top <video>? | |
| Remco | olli: But still missing 3D support | |
| olli | Remco: for you yes | |
| sil | ah, yeah, the autoplay stuff etc in the spec, I forgot about that. | |
| ReWiz | instead of a selected frame to show a seperate image might do an even better job | |
| Remco | olli: Yeah | |
| nicomen | aleksanteri: what? | |
| -> aquarius has joined webapps | ||
| 11:25 | aleksanteri | nicomen: a *bit* too late |
| andyo | howcome: can the buffering be controlled with javascript? | |
| sil | ReWiz: it would, although then you have to think about how to specify it; it's not really fallback content, but it could be useful to use it as such. | |
| <- aquarius has disconnected (Quit: leaving) | ||
| 11:26 | profit | I think buffering and other HW things should e transparent for browser and js.. |
| ReWiz | sil: not as fallback, that has to be there additionally | |
| howcome | andyo: you mean that the JS should specify how much buffer space should be allocated? | |
| <- Zzoli has disconnected (Connection reset by peer) | ||
| andyo | yes, and stop/start the buffering as pleased | |
| 11:27 | howcome | why would you want to stop buffering? |
| andyo | there's nothing worse than having to rebuffer in the middle of the movie | |
| sil | ReWiz: agreed, but: imagine that there's, say, a singleframe attribute that displays a frame for the video before it plays. You might well want that as fallback content for non-<video>-supporting browsers, which means that you'd have to do <video src="foo.ogg" singleframe="myvideo.png"><img src="myvideo.png"></video>, which seems a bit redundant | |
| 11:28 | andyo | howcome: ok maybe not... but yeah setting the buffer size |
| howcome | Perhaps your use case could be solved by giving JS access to how much has been buffered so that playing doesn't start too early? | |
| andyo | ah that's a good solution | |
| 11:29 | sil | andyo: if you implement that sort of thing then it nails down the API a lot harder on what the "plugin" has to provide to the browser: Opera have baked Theora support in, but I can see MS implementing <video> using Media Player under the covers and just shipping Theora support. Opening up the API to JS is an impediment to getting it implemented, although that's not a showstopper. |
| Aux | howcome: I just read about video on whatwg and I think that title attribute is missing | |
| ReWiz | howcome: sounds like streaming will soon be supported (or does it work already?) | |
| 11:30 | sil | Aux: title's supported on everything, isn't it? Doesn't <video> just "inherit" it? |
| howcome | aux: titles, yes we should hav titles -- make a comment! | |
| aleksanteri | yeah titles | |
| Remco | ReWiz: It was working, sort of... Opera's servers were the bottleneck | |
| Aux | howcome: how and where? | |
| 11:31 | dantesoft | video buffer control is a must. i hate the pages with flash clips.. when i see that one i'm not interested in, i want to save the bandwidth/CPU and go to the next |
| howcome | Aux: in the whatwg mailing list | |
| Aux | howcome: thx | |
| howcome | it may be that title is allowed everywhere, htough, I'd have to check | |
| aleksanteri | titles are a must too | |
| 11:32 | howcome | datnesoft: you're saying you don't want the browser to prefetch the video? |
| ReWiz | Remco: I found a different opinion: http://www.avencius.nl/?q=node/556 | |
| 11:33 | dantesoft | howcome: exactly. no prefetch. and ability to start buffering in mid-clip (jumping around a boring show) and ability to stop fetching. |
| sil | Is fallback content designed both for agents that don't support <video> at all *and* agents that do support it but have it "turned off" or the video file isn't found, so it works like alt? | |
| dantesoft | i imagine a full page of those videos... | |
| howcome | dantesoft: stop fetching without stopping playing? | |
| Remco | ReWiz: The videos were still downloading here while I was watching them, so if that's not streaming... | |
| 11:34 | dantesoft | howcome: yes.. i downloaded the content. i should see it if i want. |
| sil | erm? theora supports streaming. | |
| andyo | that would sort of disallow javascript to play and stop it | |
| howcome | sil: good question, this has been discussed. I'm unsure how the issue was resolved -- if it has been resolved. It seems like a good idea | |
| 11:35 | Kleevah | there needs to be a local cache for easy "archiving"... |
| aleksanteri somehow doesn't understand a half of what's going around now | ||
| dantesoft | Kleevah: yes | |
| ReWiz | dantesoft: it sounds that you just don't want an automatic prefetch - which seems to be independend of buffering during playback | |
| 11:36 | sil | yeah, having fallback be displayed for all of "URL returns error", "video elements are disabled", and "I don't support video elements" would be ideal, I think (and (3) comes for free anyway :)) |
| <- Guille has disconnected (Ping timeout) | ||
| howcome | andyo: understood. We have to make sure the UI doens't get too cluttered, though. One stop button many be enough. Of course, if JavaScript gets access to all hte infor people can build their own interfaces... | |
| andyo | yes | |
| 11:37 | aleksanteri | yeah |
| aleksanteri | javascript for <video> is a must for me | |
| howcome | Can I convince any of you con contribute video to Wikipedia? | |
| ReWiz | Kleevah: local cache for easy "archiving" could contradict the (IMHO stupid) requirements of some content providers | |
| howcome | That is, I believe, the best way to support Ogg Theora on the web. | |
| 11:38 | Kleevah | ReWiz: DRM-style? |
| howcome | We also need to convince Wikipedia to start using <video>, though. | |
| andyo | I think it would be a good idea with a "preview frame" of the video clip, that can be set to display at a custom time/frame | |
| aleksanteri | and IE and FF to support <video> | |
| dantesoft | ReWiz: nothing prefetched. i click play. buffering. on skipping 5 minutes into the video the buffering stops and skips those 5 minutes. on stopping the video, the buffering stops. on resume video, buffering resumes only when i'm about to see new content (i.e. no new fetching) | |
| aleksanteri | although i don't know if IE will | |
| olli | and youtube to use <video> | |
| olli | that would help | |
| sil | howcome: I would do if I had appropriate video clips. We made the talk videos for last year's LugRadio Live conference available as Theora; for the videos this year I might even do a page which uses <video> to display them. | |
| ReWiz | Kleevah: that might be an additional requirement | |
| 11:39 | Kleevah | yeah, i guess.. :\ |
| howcome | aleksanteri: yes, JS will be given access -- there's a whole API described in the WHAT WG spec. There should also be a simple UI available if JS is turned off of if the video element demands it... | |
| aleksanteri | ok | |
| howcome | Most of us hvave video cameras in out pockets, go out and film something! | |
| 11:40 | aleksanteri has not | |
| andyo | I have no video camera | |
| dantesoft | howcome: Wikipedia has a Java control for OGG videos. it's very small. oggcodecs_0.71.0946 for direct show are also small. why is the experimental Opera video setup so biiig ? | |
| howcome | I've given a tech talk at Google, so the YouTube people know about it... | |
| howcome | Is Opera's setup so biiig? | |
| 11:41 | Mitchman | Yes, I have no idea what build settings where used on it |
| -> Guille has joined webapps | ||
| howcome | sorry, I was exaggerating. A webcam should do it, htough | |
| ReWiz | howcome: just another idea to spread Theora on the Web, if there are just not enough browsers able to play Theora there should be a Plugin solution | |
| ReWiz | and I think Opera may do a pretty good job being such a plugin itself (also for non-video things) | |
| 11:42 | agony | but not everyone knows how to encode to theora |
| howcome | I don't think the Ogg support added much to its size. How big is the Java control? | |
| howcome | encoding theora is quite simple, at least on linux ffmpegtotheora | |
| agony | yes | |
| andyo | ||
| 11:43 | sil | ReWiz: the Fluendo Cortado Java applet is a plugin solution, although it's quite difficult from JS to detect whether the user agent supports Java without starting up Java |
| howcome | ffmpeg2theora | |
| -> pffYussupov has joined webapps | ||
| aleksanteri | how long will it be until <video> is avaivable? | |
| olli | aleksanteri: wir | |
| Aux | the best way to quickly promote OGG in browsers is to make a site with a lot of newfree movies viewable online | |
| aleksanteri | heh | |
| agony | i preffer mencoder for that | |
| agony | ,_, | |
| andyo | aleksanteri: andyo: Re: <video> in opera: we've been very clear that our support for <video> is experimental. Also, the spec has changed since we did our initial implementation. We'll continue talking to Mozilla and others to build support. I don't know when we will be shipping. | |
| howcome | <video> is available now! (in the experimental build) | |
| 11:44 | aleksanteri | ah |
| ReWiz | agony: I provided a small howto in my post http://my.opera.com/ResearchWizard/blog/experimental-opera-video-build-with-native-ogg-theora-support | |
| Kleevah | VLC should also be able to convert to theora with no problems | |
| dantesoft | howcome http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/cortado-ovt-stripped-0.2.2.jar is less than 200KB. | |
| andyo | can wmp play theora without additional codecs? | |
| sil | andyo: no. | |
| dantesoft | op950_8762_video_repack_with_lgpl_signed has some 4MB extra | |
| 11:45 | howcome | part of the problem with ogg is that none of the established players support it |
| sil | there is no video format, not one, that will play out of the box on Windows, Linux, and Mac. | |
| agony | raw avi | |
| andyo | hehe | |
| agony | :> | |
| Aux | (: | |
| aleksanteri | ||
| andyo | true | |
| sil | agony: s/video format/sane video format/. Animated gifs work everywhere, too. | |
| Kleevah | mpeg? | |
| howcome | dantesoft: the extra size is not due to Ogg, it's probably due to size optimization not turned on... | |
| Aux | mpeg, yep | |
| howcome | apng | |
| agony | but the sound is not so good in gif :> | |
| 11:46 | aleksanteri has never heard of apng | |
| sil | MPEG isn't supported out-of-the-box on Linux because mpeg is patent-encumbered. | |
| andyo | but what I mean is.. if you open an ogg file in wmp.. does it download the codecs itself? | |
| Kleevah | agony: gotto sync it with the .mid... | |
| agony | hehe | |
| sil | andyo: mine doesn't. It tries and fails. | |
| andyo | ok | |
| howcome | http://wiki.mozilla.org/APNG_Specification | |
| sil | howcome: agreed that theora has a problem of support but then...what's the alternative? Baking WMV format into Opera? | |
| 11:47 | agony | never! |
| sil | agony: precisely. | |
| aleksanteri | never ever! | |
| sil | plus, this is back to the formats argument and not the markup argument | |
| Aux | howcome: maybe your webdevs should make video-blogging section for trying out <video> support? | |
| howcome | sil: no, there is no universal format to fall back on. We need to establish a baseline format. | |
| Aux | khm, about conversion. i just thought about online service for converting video to ogg | |
| 11:48 | ReWiz | Kleevah: I just gave VLC a try to convert to Theora - it crashed. Though it should be possible but it is not really easier. |
| howcome | aux: yes, online conversion is helpful -- didn't someone do this already? | |
| profit | In fact, WMV would be pretty good (especially in comopression). If we will just leave alone the fact it is its MS-made.. | |
| Kleevah | oh | |
| sil | howcome: which is why the whatwg discussion was so frustrating, since Apple don't seem interested in any baseline format that they don't already support. | |
| 11:49 | aleksanteri | profit: |
| howcome | sil: it seems that none of the big vendors are interested in adding support for new formats. Their arguments make sense to some people. | |
| andyo | hm,... a video-element could be used to make video conferancing relatively easy on the web, am I right? | |
| 11:50 | howcome | sil: The only way to change their attitude is to make sure there's video content out there! |
| Kleevah | ReWiz: i just tried to convert a small mpeg clip and that worked fine.. :\ | |
| howcome | (in Ogg Theora, that is) | |
| Aux | howcome: i'll try make this online conversion tool next week - right now i have too much workto complete | |
| howcome | Kleevah: did you use VLC? | |
| Kleevah | yeah | |
| howcome | How do you tell VLC to output? | |
| 11:51 | nicomen | hm there are some question in the Pony queue, anyone going to show them? |
| sil | howcome: true. Chicken and egg, but I agree with you entirely. Wikipedia will help; archive.org as well, perhaps? The BBC would be great (although they're trying to get Dirac off the ground; perhaps loko at Dirac as baseline just because the BBC will be pushing it hard 2 years from now?) | |
| Kleevah | on the bottom part of the open dialog there is a stream/save option | |
| sil | howcome: File > Wizard in VLC takes you through output options | |
| howcome | any way to specify it on the commant line? | |
| Kleevah | yeah | |
| 11:52 | agony | I think mencoder or ffmpeg is better for that |
| Kleevah | 10sec | |
| agony | always had problems with vlc | |
| howcome | sil: I think we should keep the door open for Dirac, yes | |
| 11:53 | Kleevah | howcome: :sout=#transcode{vcodec=theo,vb=1024,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=192,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ogg,dst="output.ogg"}} |
| 11:54 | -> grafio has joined webapps | |
| aleksanteri | hi grafio | |
| grafio | hi | |
| aleksanteri | a *bit* late | |
| howcome | I think the format conversion issue can be handled. I think all technical issues can be handled. But we need to teach web users about the need for open standards. Again and again it seems | |
| aleksanteri | howcome: impossible task | |
| dantesoft | howcome: are there some issues with OGG regarding resolution, FPS, etc? re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:NTSC-PAL-SECAM.svg | |
| Aux | howcome: i'm wondering now if browsers like IE will have plug-in then will plug-in be able to determine Z-index of video tag? or maybe someattribute like Flash's wparam will be needed? | |
| howcome | Kleevah: you're Kleevah! | |
| andyo | it should be taught in schools | |
| Kleevah | ||
| 11:55 | andyo | instead of german |
| andyo | ||
| agony | what? | |
| agony | :> | |
| 11:56 | howcome | Dantesoft: I don't know about any issues |
| -> ASCHE has joined webapps | ||
| ReWiz | howcome: what I just read about it Dirac seems to have some strong technical advantages while Theora tools have grown further so far | |
| 11:57 | howcome | Aux: one of the benefits of decoding video natively is that we can use things like CSS with its z-index to control the presentation. That's harder to do whey you have to go through a plugin interface. |
| dantesoft | howcome http://daringfireball.net/2007/04/wee_bit_more_on_aac OGG is "an ugly patent lawsuit waiting to happen." | |
| <- ASCHE has left webapps | ||
| Aux | howcome: I understand, but what for first-time usage? i don't think that MS will implement support next week | |
| 11:58 | howcome | ReWiz: yes, the dirac people seem clever |
| howcome | Aux: no, MS will not add support until they're forced to. | |
| sil | dantesoft: that's been Apple's argument on the whatwg list. "The consensus" that Ogg *must* violate some patents is in no way a consensus. Apple certainly believe it; whether others do is a different question entirely. | |
| aleksanteri | howcome: that's why they suck | |
| 11:59 | Aux | sorry guys, I need to go. thanks for nice and useful chat! |
| howcome | Perhaps we should start Acid3 with a <video> element? | |
| sil | howcome: do the whole test as a video. | |
| aleksanteri | lol | |
| <- Aux has disconnected (Quit: Infected...) | ||
| andyo | I have to go to.. Kleevah: keep a log for me.. | |
| 12:00 | dantesoft | stick out the tongue of all is a-o-k |
| andyo | thanks for good answers howcome .. bye | |
| <- andyo has left webapps | ||
| howcome | Great to talk to y'all, I have to run, too! | |
| aleksanteri | 19:00 ^__^ | |

| aleksanteri | bye Håkon | |
