WordPress is often cited as a paradigm for open source innovation. As an easy, powerful blogging service, WordPress software is now powering many, many blogs—including our own. So it’s exciting to hear the latest announcement from the WordPress team: support for open video.
“While we are still working on adding full support for video tag, we are happy to announce that we have encoded all of our video inventories in Theora/Ogg format as well as the usual mp4 formats. VideoPress users are now able to access the Ogg file URL from within the Media Library, and the video can be played directly on browsers that support HTML 5, such as Firefox 3.5 and Chrome.”
Saavy, self-hosted users can check out the open source video framework, which handles uploading, transcoding, and more.
