Description Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2014-01-21 01:05:03 UTC 
Bleeding edge (Not sure if its still bleeding edge) firefox and chrome support VP9/Opus webm files. If we have such a file (or in some future where we transcode to that format), we want those browsers to play it via <video> tag.

Probably needs to make something like webmNativePlayer, but for VP9 webm's.
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2014-01-26 21:54:18 UTC 
Quick question: is there a new file suffix or would these also be labeled as just '.webm'?

If we need to produce both VP8 and VP9 versions of WebM output, do we need to change our directory structure or file naming scheme to include codec versioning?
Comment 2 Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2014-01-26 22:00:24 UTC 
No new suffix, but we also include other transcoding info in filename (eg 480p, 720p) so i think we could just add to that part of filename.
