The purpose was the acquiring of On2's video compressing and encoding technology known as VP8.
Google此举的目的在于得到On2的视频压缩与编码技术,即我们所熟知的VP8。
Insiders reckon VP8 USES only half the bandwidth of H.264 while delivering an even better picture.
内部人士认为VP8只使用了H . 264一半的频宽,却播放出更优质的画面。
However, since Google's announcement, questions have been raised around the licensing and the performance of the VP8 codec.
然而,自从Google发表声明以来,多方都在担心VP8codec的许可以及性能问题。
VP8 is simply way too similar to H.264: a pithy, if slightly inaccurate, description of VP8 would be “H.264 Baseline Profile with a better entropy coder”.
VP8与H.264太像了:一言以蔽之,如果描述不那么严格的话,可以将VP8看作是“一个带有更好的熵编码的H.264BaselineProfile”。
It appears that there is currently potential risk of patent lawsuits, in particular from MPEG la, the entity behind H.264, and this uncertainty may hinder initial adoption of VP8.
从目前的情况来看,VP8有潜在的专利诉讼风险,这主要来自于H . 264背后的MPEGLA,这种不确定性可能会阻碍VP8的使用率。
We'll start by going through the core features of VP8.
我们将首先浏览一遍vp8的核心特点。
One more thing to note is the data partitioning scheme used by VP8.
还有一点要注意的是VP8中数据的分区方案。
This post is primarily aimed at discussing issues relating to the VP8 video format.
这篇博文的主要目的是讨论VP8视频格式的有关问题。
I'm guessing that the current VP8 software simply evolved from the original VP7 software.
我猜测,目前VP8软件只是原vp7软件的一个简单演变。
They aren't even ready to finalize the bitstream format, let alone switch the world over to VP8.
他们甚至还没有确定码流格式,更不用说在全球推广VP8。
VP8 is an open source video compression format supported by a consortium of technology companies.
VP8是一个有几家公司联合支持的开源视频压缩格式。
I have already received a complaint from a hardware developer about this specific feature with regard to VP8.
我已经收到了硬件开发人员关于VP8这方面的特定功能的投诉。
I would expect, with equally optimized implementations, VP8 and H. 264 to be relatively comparable in terms of decoding speed.
我期望经过同样的优化后的实现,VP8和H . 264在解码速度方面能具有可比性。
Anyways, this means that I'm not going to go easy on On2; they've had (at least) 6 years to work on VP8, and a much larger dev team than x264's to boot.
不管怎么说,这意味着我不会继续轻易放过On 2公司,他们有(至少)6年的时间来完善VP8,和一个比x264更大的开发团队。
VP8 is definitely better compression-wise than Theora and Dirac, so if its claim to being patent-free does stand up, it's an upgrade with regard to patent-free video formats.
VP8肯定比Theora和Dirac有更好的压缩效率,如果它自称的免专利费能够成立,这是免专利费的视频格式的一次升级。
Google has recently announced WebM, an open source, royalty free media file format consisting of the following components: VP8 video codec, Vorbis audio codec, and the Matroska media container.
近日,Google开源了WebM——用于视频压缩与编码的免费媒体文件格式,它主要包含如下组件:VP8视频codec、Vorbis音频codec以及Matroska媒体容器。
