Now that you guys have been in talks with Google, are there any plans to add an option for video formats that work with HTML5 or are we still be stuck with just ogv?
Would love to tie into youtube now that they support HTML5 instead of just flash.
Thanks,
Jeff
ogv at very least for now
don’t see how a html5 video codec, thats not supported anywhere but chrome by the way, is going to help though
Why does it matter if html5 has different video formats, given that the formats within Unity have nothing to do with the html page?
because unity could access the browser installed codec to play back the video.
right now unity uses ogg theora because there is no such thing as standard as no format is present on every of the 5 major browsers (IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera)
with the license free codec google tries to fight that and especially kick out apples attempt to establish a commercial non-free codec for the matter of html5 standard video codec
Google uses H.264 extensively in their products, including Chrome, Android, and YouTube. Allowing playback of the format in their browser is hardly fighting it.
Hey, dreamora. How would this: “because unity could access the browser installed codec to play back the video.” work? Can you help me?
