check out!

menurut wikipedia, webm adalaaah :


WebM is an audio-video format designed to provide a royalty-free, open video compression format for use with HTML5 video. The project's development is sponsored by Google.
A WebM file consists of VP8 video and Vorbis audio streams, in a container based on a profile of Matroska The project releases WebM related software under a BSD license and all users are granted a worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free patent license. Despite this, some in the industry have called upon Google to provide indemnification against patent suits

Software

Native WebM support by Mozilla Firefox 4, Opera 10.6, and Google Chrome was announced at the 2010 Google I/O conference. However, not every web browser natively supports WebM. Epiphany will only play WebM video after GStreamer multimedia framework is updated. Internet Explorer 9 requires third-party WebM software. Safari for Windows and Mac OS X relies on QuickTime to play web media, which as of April 1, 2011, does not support WebM unless a third-party plug-in is installed. In January 2011, Google announced that the WebM Project Team will release plugins for Internet Explorer and Safari to allow playback of WebM files through the standard HTML5 <video> tag. As of April 1, 2011, a public preview version of this plug-in is available for Internet Explorer 9.
Adobe Systems announced that its Flash Player will be updated to support WebM. 
Media players such as VLC, Miro, and Winamp, have announced support. MPlayer and foobar2000 has native support for playing WebM files.FFmpeg can now encode and decode VP8 videos when built with libvpx support, as well as mux/demux WebM-compliant files. On 23 July 2010, Jason Garrett-Glaser, Ronald Bultje, and David Conrad of the FFmpeg team announced the ffvp8 decoder. Through testing they determined that ffvp8 was faster than Google's own libvpx decoder.mkvtoolnix, the popular Matroska creation tools, have implemented support for Multiplexing/Demultiplexing WebM-compliant files out of the box.Haali Media Splitter has also announced support for muxing/demuxing of WebM.
MPC-HC as of SVN 2071 and higher builds supports WebM playback with internal VP8 decoder based on FFmpeg's code. The latest official stable release of MPC-HC, 1.4.2499.0, 1.5.2.3456 and later versions has full decoding support for WebM.
Android is WebM-enabled from version 2.3 - Gingerbread, which was first made available via the Nexus S mobile phone.

Hardware

AMD, ARM and Broadcom have announced support for hardware acceleration of the WebM format. Intel is also considering hardware-based acceleration for WebM in its Atom-based TV chips if the format gains popularity. Qualcomm and Texas Instruments have announced support, with native support coming to the TI OMAP processor. Chip&Media have announced the fully hardware decoder for VP8 that can decode full HD resolution VP8 streams at 60 frames per second.
NVIDIA has stated that they support VP8 adoption, but they have no specific plans to provide hardware support.
On 7 January 2011, Rockchip released the world's first chip to host a full hardware implementation of 1080p VP8 decoding. The video acceleration in the RK29xx chip is handled by the WebM Project's G-Series 1 hardware decoder IP.
In June 2011, ZiiLABS demonstrated their 1080p VP8 decoder implementation running on the ZMS-20 processor. The chips programmable media processing array is used to provide the VP8 acceleration.

Services

YouTube now offers WebM videos as part of its HTML5 player experiment. All uploaded files with resolutions from 720p and above are encoded to WebM in 480p and 720p, and other resolutions will follow. YouTube has committed to encode their entire portfolio of videos to WebM. Sorenson Media's online encoding platform now supports VP8 and WebM. Skype has implemented the VP8 codec into the Skype 5.0 software Logitech is planning to use WebM as part of a video calling service NVIDIA announced 3D video support for WebM through HTML5 and their NVIDIA 3D Vision technology.

    WebM – The new Video File Format

    WebM is a new open standard for compressed Video Content. It shall offer an alternative to commercial Formats such as h264, MPEG4 and MPEG2, that are patented and require a commercial licence. WebM is based on two open codecs for compressing the video and audio component of the content.

    VP8 for Video

    The video content of a WebM file is compressed with VP8, a technology developed by ON2, which was recently acquired by Google, who then went on to make VP8 an open and free technology. VP8 is considered to be one of the few standards that can keep up with the modern MPEG4 compression standards both in quality and filesize.

    Vorbis for Audio

    Of course also the Audio-Component of a Video-File needs to be compressed, therefore another open technology is used: Vorbis (also known as Ogg Vorbis), a free open source software for lossy audio-compression, and therefore an alternative to MP3.

    Test Files

    Check out some test files in WebM Format here.

    Impact of WebM

    With the growth of Online Video and increasing Quality and Size of the Videos there was also demand for a high quality codec that is capable of delivering HD videos highly compressed but still in in high quality. So far, only the proprietary h.264/MPEG4 Standard was regarded as capable of this – but since it is patented and needs to be licensed, it is only suitable for commercial applications.
    Google was looking for an alternative that could be offered free of charge and with open source, which led to the acquisition of ON2, the company that developed VP8, and released their video compression software as open source. Through Googles strong market position as owner of Online-Video Giant YouTube, all major Browsers will support WebM in upcoming releases, which makes it a real alternative to Flash/h.264, todays propietary de-facto standard of web-video.

    It will be interesting to see how other online entertainment brands like hulu, bwin or netflix will react to the availability of an open standard. After all it would mean for them that they have to convert their huge archives, and store at least two versions of their video content.

    Another question is the hardware support. While all major browsers will support the format, the operating systems themselves dont, and neither do mobile phones or set-top boxes. Google has already announced WebM Support for the next release of their Android Operating System, while Market-Leader Apple so far doesnt support it on their iPhone, and given their rivalry with Google they probably wont in the future.
