Although we're still not at a point where it's decided which codecs are going to be dominant, WE JUST GOT INTERNET EXPLORER!!! Sorry, I didn't mean to shout, but that's huge. IE9 is going to support the tag, and all that's left now is making our server systems smart enough to handle a single upload and transcode that into all the open formats. So just keep a high quality render of each of your posts somewhere like archive.org, we can get to the transcodes later. Next up is getting a good monetization system in the open video production chain, surely Blip, YouTube, and Kaltura will knock this one out next. Our infrastructure is in place.

Particularly if Google or Apple or Microsoft is party to giving you the horse. I think it's good to push for open over patent-encumbered. I just wish we didn't have to go through this crap again. I'm *this* close to deleting my videoblog entirely. I just want to tell stories. I don't want to deal with this stuff.
