Unfortunately I don't think the owners of this site have become enlightened - granted neither has anyone else but Google & myself. A great Open Source video format promoted by Google and used on YouTube is WebM. Very small file size without quality loss.
I use WebM for all video content on my website. It is a shame that more website owners / content providers DO NOT. Forcing users to install Flash, Java, Divx or whatever codec to watch video is so 1999 and not very secure. No one should have to play hunt the codec - it should just work. HTML5 & WebM in the proper web browser - just works.
If you can’t see WebM videos Time to update your web browser
Using HTML5 WebM video with WordPress
WebM an open web media project
I use
Arista Transcoder The easiest way to convert your media
Unfortunately Arista Transcoder does NOT support Microsoft Windows users. It's a damn shame because it would see very wide use if it did - do to it's ease of use and functionality.
Arista Transcoder supports multiple codec conversions - not just WebM only.
My operating system is
Linux Mint - so I have no issues using Arista Transcoder.
WebM for Internet Explorer - to view WebM in IE9 or below you need this plugin installed. IE10 may now support WebM. That plugin is provided by Google.
Alright - enough of the long winded technical chat = back to the nasty smut.
