why does youtube use webm instead of h264? h264 is usually hardware accelerated on computers. Also isn't h264 royalty free now?

No.

webm is a container, h264 is a codec
what is your point
Jack Richardson
>webm is a container
Well, it's really just MKV but is specific about what codec is used inside of it. So WebM is synonymous for VP8/Vorbis or VP9/Opus.

*If* I understand the article correctly, YT uses both webm and h264.

I guess this is the reason why it lags like shit on my computer even though it has h264 hardware decoding.

Check out the h264ify plugin if you want to force H264 streaming

VP9 is actually much better for image quality, not only are the file/download/stream size quite a bit smaller but it does not suffer from such horrible blocking and banding that h264 does. Depends on what you are watching as to how much you would notice it though.

Or if your autism is strong enough, you can stream it to your media player and select the quality/codec used.

No one gives a fuck about your shitty codecs if you cant even play them back without it lagging to hell.

That means most patents won't expire until 2023 earliest

Oh, but I think a lot of people DO give a fuck.

Not our fault you have a shitty computer. 1080p 60FPS VP9 uses 8-12% cpu on my machine, poorfag.

Okay you're not poor, just stupid and bought a massively expensive machine that my i3 windows desktop outperforms at playing videos, congratulations!

No one cares about your meme codec. Get back to me when Intel adds hardware decoding support.
Evan Nelson
More people care about VP9 than people care about your existence. Have a nice day, retard.
Alexander Kelly
H265 performance is still better than VP9 and AV1

I can't wait for AV1 to finally kill H265 and H264.
