[WebPub] quick question about video

Thu Jul 24 14:03:03 EDT 2014

For question 2:

See https://www.airbnb.com/

They are using WebM, http://www.webmproject.org/about/

These are the supported browsers:
http://www.webmproject.org/users/#supported_web_browsers

I'm really not sure of any advantage over ogg,mp4 assuming HTML5.

Use "inspect element" for more info.

That's all I have now but if I come up with anything more, I'll let you
know.

Please keep me posted of any progress, I'd like to try this on a fitting
project.
