With no codec support... what's the point of building Chromium? This is like building VLC with no codec support. It's nice and all but not really practical for the actual end user.
It is not that there is no longer any codec support. The codecs here are regarding MP4 and H.264. Those will no longer be supported. Other codecs should still be supported. It seems that without those two codecs, html5 starts using webm as the supported codec. We have to see which codecs we actually really loose and which ones are still there. The end situation will be the following: As of this writing (May 5, 2011), Chromium supports standard the following: Vorbis audio codec Theora video codec VP8 video codec PCM 8-bit unsigned integer PCM 16-bit signed integer little endian PCM 32-bit float little endian Ogg container format WebM container format WAV container format When building with the proprietary codec flag, there would also be support for MP3 audio codec AAC audio codec (Main only, not AAC-LC, AAC-SSR, HE-AAC) H.264 video codec MP4 container format Regards Raymond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
