Opera lit l’Ogg Theora Vorbis !

2 mai, 2007 (22:54) |

Une version expérimentale du navigateur européen Opera vient d’etre publié avec comme grande nouveauté la lecture par défaut des vidéos en Theora et de l’audio en Vorbis. Un grand progrès pour le multimédia sur le Web accessible à tous.

It’s time to make video a first-class citizen of the web. We, the
users, have video cameras in our pockets and the bandwidth to tranfer
more clips and streams than we can watch. What’s missing is a an easy
way to integrate video into web pages, and native support for video in
browsers. We, the web community, should address this by adding a video
element to HTML:
<video src="demo.ogg">
In addition to giving video an HTML element, we must also agree on
a baseline video format that will be universally supported, just like
the GIF, JPEG and PNG image format are universally supported. It’s
important that the video format we choose can be supported by a wide
range of devices an that it’s royalty-free (RF). RF is a
well-establish principle for W3C standards.

The Ogg Theora format is a
promising candidate which has been chosen by
Wikipedia.

At Opera, we have built an experimental
version that has native support for Ogg Theora. For now, it is
only available on Windows. NOTE! Do not choose to start Opera in the
installation process. After installing, exit the installation process
and start the the experimental build manually.

Here are some pages using the video element:
