Wikipedia controversial video coming soon

Wikipedia will be using new ways to download, edit and watch the video soon. Muller said, Beet.TV interview with Eric, a deputy director of the Wikimedia Foundation, you'll see all these things soon. But what is more interesting is the selection of the Guinness Book of video formats and how it fits in the scandal in the browser world.

Wikipedia is working to support the video for years, and considerable effort has been made in the implementation makes it easier for users upload the video - in particular video format, in order to bridge the gaps. Mueller said that while Wikipedia is still planning to use Ogg Theora (video coding of open source that can be played once and was born in the latest version of Firefox, and Opera and Chrome, and soon) are tools that will convert video shot in the alternative versions of any special program so or user intervention.

In the meantime, Wikipedia is the solution for users to make this transition to the end. Muller said that the decision FireOgg, in the Firefox browser components, a user can Scheu OGG Theora for video consumer appliances.

The problem that still services in Wikipedia to jog on the tape is the choice of encryption. Coding are units of software to decode the audio and video encoding, and the shrinking size of that can be transferred easily over the Internet. Wikipedia is a large and popular site, which means the video format used will have a major impact on the Internet, and standards. Wikipedia has chosen to go with OGG Theora put additional focus on how browsers and Internet service providers, who resisted the HTML 5 video hot competition criteria for the Internet.

Unlike H.264 coding, which was promoted in both Google and Apple products and services, and allow to download Ogg Theora, and the amendment and re-boot without the license fees. On the other hand, a large part of modern computer equipment (including the latest mobile devices) is equipped with on board decoding H.264, which means less energy used in the processing of the video.

Microsoft and Apple and Google, are less eager to promote the OGG Theora format in the browser, and the development of resources and the H.264 instead. Google chrome, in fact, supports this (H.264), but Google tahografskiya talent was not as good as I want. Google is also a great deal of resources, which sank in the re-coding the entire YouTube video library to H.264, which makes them less likely to switch camps.

Regardless, and video over the Internet has come a long way in the earlier standards, forms of competition. Pioneers such as Macromedia (now Adobe) Flash, design, Apple Quicktime and the flow of the standard has helped to pave the way for the bevvy of new start-ups that rely on the latest coding for the establishment of the new and the sale of part of its work. The big question is whether the open-source coding, such as OGG Theora, which will have the same kind of dispute over power. As we go to one of the most popular sites will not be adversely affected.
