WebM

Support in toolchain

• oxframe supports extracting frames from WebM files
• WebM support in Firefogg (needs more testing and options)
• oxtimeline should be able to extract timeline from WebM files (needs testing)
• client side seeking seams to be good enough(except for safari) (test here)

Issues

• Perian trunk supports WebM files, Quicktime7 does not allow plugins to seek in http resources outside of the already downloaded area. in addition to this Apple shows no interest to support WebM themselfs. this means, WebM support in Safari will not happen.
• oggz-chop replacement to allow downloading of segments (this needs a new tool, using ffmpeg might be an option)

TODO

• migration plan for 0xdb and pad.ma content
• good encoding settings for required bandwidth and resolutions

Ogg Theora

Issues

• oggz-chop does not work in Chrome, since they require Content-Length headers see( bug #40344)
