WebM (VP8) HTML5-TV navigation with Firefox on OGGTV

After converting all of the videos on OGGTV to WebM using FFmpeg, you can see what it will be used for this fall with GoogleTV. It is obvious (with this example), WebM is for high-performance HTML5-TV playback. Lightning fast starts, and FULL-SCREEN playback on both Opera and Firefox, along with Google Chrome. As you can see, OGGTV is for TV navigation and playback, similar to GoogleTV design concepts. The form-factor and design of OGGTV is different than YouTube’s WebM playback, or YouTubeXL on TV screens, so it performs differently. OGG + WebM (VP8), will allow HTML5 media companies to reach the most web browsers, TV’s and mobile devices. TV navigation, which has a black background, and bright, easy to see controls, is exactly in line with GoogleTV. OGGTV is older than YouTubeXL, and started out with the same black and yellow colors, and video banks in early 2008, so the ideas are the same, just a different year with WebM available now for TV streaming. mobile to 1080p, using open-source video, is already built-into OGGTV now, so it took a LOT of FFmpeg encoding to become the first WebM hosting site besides YouTube. Flumotion was the first live WebM stream, 24 hours after the announcement, so OGGTV had to be the first WebM video site adopter. OGG is still “Super-King” of HTML5-TV browser support share, (just look at the Firefox 3.6 download numbers which are over 700 million alone). and it will stay that way. WebM has an instant browser market share jump with the web
