Which is why I asked for plaintext. I don’t have an Excel version that allows me to read xlsx, just the original xls. Which is why I asked for plaintext.

MPEG Mulls Royalty-Free Proposals by Joshua Cogliati http://www.robglidden.com/2011/12/mpeg-plus-or-patent-pool-lite-mpeg-mulls-royalty-free-proposals/comment-page-1/#comment-1063 Joshua Cogliati Sun, 18 Dec 2011 22:02:19 +0000 http://www.robglidden.com/?p=1845#comment-1063 Shmerl, If this effort can get a video and audio codec that is supported in Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome, than I think it will be worthwhile. Right now the best video codec supported in Linux, Windows and OSX is Motion JPEG, and the audio codec is PCM. (Yes, support for WebM and vorbis can be added to Safari and IE, but it is not there by default. Yes, support for say, MPEG-2 can be added to Linux, but it either requires a fee for a binary (such as from Fluendo) or is illegal in countries with software patents) Shmerl,

Luckily W3C isn't mandating what codec to use for HTML, and I hope this knd of efforts won't change that. Essentially it's what is open already now will be adopted as prevailing web technology. And WebM is ahead. Are they scared of the growing WebM adoption? Luckily W3C isn’t mandating what codec to use for HTML, and I hope this knd of efforts won’t change that.
