Re: [LAU] cool video tutorial by the xiph guys

Thanks for all the nice reviews... I hadn't said much because it felt werd commenting on a thread about a video I made :-) Most of the problems folks are having I can only pass along. We did find a number of bugs in the tools that we used for final prep of the video streams, and we fixed them as we went along. For example, OggIndex had a bug that socked any gstreamer-based players (like totem). And... in general, all of this stuff is relatively new, or at least the WebM and browser playback is. The WebM stuff only works in bleeding-edge gStreamer, and there had been a problem producing the files, as it turned out some of the Matroska tools had broken float handling on Linux (mkclean was using type-punning, so gcc ate the code involved-- we fixed that). Similarly, WebM only works in FF4 beta, latest Chrome (though not well, ironically enough) and latest Opera. Monty
