  54. # [03:15] <sayrer> I have to say, the whatwg has reached epic bullshit status this week
  55. # [03:16] <sayrer> private feedback has determined there is no suitable codec
  56. # [03:16] <sayrer> I wonder if people realize that is indistinguishable from collusion
  57. # [03:17] <jcranmer> I personally would opt for the "screw Apple + Nokia and make Theora the de jure standard, as it's fast becoming de facto"
  58. # [03:17] <jcranmer> but I'm not going to push the issue
  59. # [03:17] <sayrer> jcranmer: h.264 is an open standard! didn't you read othermaciej_'s mail?
  60. # [03:18] <sayrer> all of the relevant stakeholders were involved
  61. # [03:18] <jcranmer> sayrer: that's why I referred to `de facto' as reasoning
  62. # [03:18] <jcranmer> sayrer: which one?
  63. # [03:18] <sayrer> groan
  64. # [03:18] <sayrer> nevermind
  65. # [03:19] <jcranmer> I kind of skimmed over them
  66. # [03:19] <sayrer> fair enough
  67. # [03:19] * othermaciej_ is now known as othermaciej
  68. # [03:19] <sayrer> here is my edit: http://blog.mozilla.com/rob-sayre/2009/07/01/offered-without-comment-4/
  69. # [03:20] <jcranmer> ah, I found it
  70. # [03:20] <sayrer> I like how people that have gone through media training think they can say anything
  71. # [03:20] <sayrer> it's kind of funny
  72. # [03:20] <othermaciej> sayrer: it's not clear to me what problem you have with that statement
  73. # [03:20] <othermaciej> it's true that H.264 is an open standard
  74. # [03:20] <jcranmer> just like patents are open standards
  75. # [03:21] <sayrer> othermaciej: say it enough and it becomes true
  76. # [03:21] <sayrer> :)
  77. # [03:21] <jcranmer> it doesn't mean that you can actually use them
  78. # [03:21] <othermaciej> sayrer: the normal definition of "open stanard" doesn't automatically imply royalty-free licensing
  79. # [03:21] <jcranmer> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_standard disagrees
  80. # [03:21] <jcranmer> "The term "open" is usually restricted to royalty-free technologies"
  81. # [03:22] <jcranmer> (2nd para)
  82. # [03:22] <sayrer> but that was written by hippies, obviously
  83. # [03:22] <jcranmer> "The definitions of the term "open standard" used by academics, the European Union and some of its member governments or parliaments such as Denmark, France, and Spain preclude open standards requiring fees for use, as do the New Zealand and the Venezuelan governments."
  84. # [03:22] <sayrer> othermaciej: how about this: proprietary is where you pay
  85. # [03:23] <othermaciej> wikipedia seems to disagree with actual standards orgs (as stated in later paragraphs)
  86. # [03:23] <sayrer> funny
  87. # [03:23] <sayrer> wonder why
  88. # [03:24] <jcranmer> nearly everyone concurs that "open" == "free" (as in beer)
  89. # [03:24] <othermaciej> Ogg Theora on the other hand is not a de jure standard at all, even though it has an open source implementation and is not known to be covered by non-RF patents
  90. # [03:24] <sayrer> but anyway, private feedback settling on MPEG-LA codecs is indistinguishable from collusion
  91. # [03:25] <sayrer> no matter what the intentions are
  92. # [03:25] <othermaciej> to me these are all orthogonal factors, and I didn't know that was controversial
  93. # [03:25] <jcranmer> it's becoming de facto
  94. # [03:25] <jcranmer> as I said before, if Hulu and Youtube both go for Theora in <video>
  95. # [03:25] <othermaciej> I mentioned the standards process used for H.264 because getting all the vendors involved is part of why it has an ecosystem around it
  96. # [03:26] <sayrer> clearly not all vendors
  97. # [03:26] <othermaciej> H.264 actually had hardware implementations before it saw any significant Web use
  98. # [03:26] <sayrer> just enough to charge others
  99. # [03:26] <othermaciej> all right, strike "all" and replace with "many"
  100. # [03:27] <jcranmer> "many
  101. # [03:27] <jcranmer> er
  102. # [03:27] <sayrer> not that all vendors comrpise "relevant stakeholders"
  103. # [03:27] <jcranmer> "many", presumably does not include about 90% of browser market share
  104. # [03:27] <jcranmer> s/,//
  105. # [03:27] <sayrer> yeah, that's true
  106. # [03:27] <othermaciej> the Ogg spec, on the other hand, is unilateral, which may be part of why it doesn't have the same level of tools support
  107. # [03:27] <sayrer> please
  108. # [03:27] <jcranmer> this is getting pointless
  109. # [03:28] * Joins: jacobolus (n=jacobolu@adsl-76-199-66-181.dsl.pltn13.sbcglobal.net)
  110. # [03:28] <sayrer> no doubt
  111. # [03:28] <sayrer> later
  112. # [03:28] <jcranmer> it's basically a religion war
  113. # [03:28] * Parts: sayrer (n=chatzill@user-160vobr.cable.mindspring.com)
  114. # [03:28] * othermaciej shrugs
  115. # [03:28] <othermaciej> I just wanted to inject some factual information to the discussion
  116. # [03:28] <othermaciej> I don't want to get into the religious war part of it
  117. # [03:28] <othermaciej> it's not just a religious war, it's a format war
  118. # [03:29] <othermaciej> format wars are unpleasant and suck for everyone
  119. # [03:29] <jcranmer> well, a standard that 90% of the world doesn't support isn't exactly a useful standard
  120. # [03:29] <jcranmer> which is probably why SVG sees so little web usage
  121. # [03:29] <jcranmer> 2/3 of the web can't use it
  122. # [03:29] <jcranmer> er, users
  123. # [03:29] <othermaciej> not sure what you're referring to there
  124. # [03:30] <othermaciej> standard status is a separate thing from deployment
  125. # [03:30] <jcranmer> HTML is SGML, right?
  126. # [03:30] <jcranmer> I'll go use <br/ and see how web browsers like it!
  127. # [03:30] <othermaciej> HTML 4.01 was SGML in theory but not in practice
  128. # [03:30] <othermaciej> HTML 5 is not SGML even in theory
  129. # [03:31] <jcranmer> NNTP is UTF-8 in theory, in practice it's whatever-the-server-decides
  130. # [03:31] * othermaciej is not sure how this is relevant to video
  131. # [03:31] <jcranmer> it's not what the standard says that matters
  132. # [03:31] <jcranmer> it's what the web browsers do
  133. # [03:31] <othermaciej> isn't the whole dispute here over what the standard should say?
  134. # [03:31] <jcranmer> and if a significant share decides it's untenable to support the standard, the standard will be ignored
  135. # [03:32] <jcranmer> the crux of the matter is that the two sides are so extreme in their viewpoint that no consensus can be reached since a significant share would ignore it
  136. # [03:32] <othermaciej> that's probably true
  137. # [03:32] <othermaciej> we also don't have any input from Microsoft on whether they are willing to implement <video> at all, though they are pretty clearly on record as not being willing to support Ogg
  138. # [03:33] <othermaciej> (H.264 will ship as a built-in codec on Windows 7, so I guess they don't have a problem with it as a codec in general)
  139. # [03:33] <jcranmer> besides, HTML 5 is essentially, in large part, a codification of de facto web stuff

  144. # [03:44] <mpilgrim> is there any legal reason that every single non-apple stakeholder couldn't bundle XiphQT with their mac installer?

  163. # [04:14] <roc_> mpilgrim: the possibility of installing Firefox leading to other apps breaking is scary
  164. # [04:14] * roc_ is now known as roc
  165. # [04:14] <roc> mpilgrim: also, what if someone uninstalls Firefox? do you uninstall the codec? If not, who does the security updates?
  166. # [04:15] <roc> mpilgrim: then there's the issue that people who install other browsers probably don't use Safari much
  167. # [04:15] <mpilgrim> doesn't have to be just browsers
  168. # [04:15] <mpilgrim> lots of things bundle other things
  169. # [04:16] <jcgregorio> openoffice and java
  170. # [04:17] <mpilgrim> xiphqt 0.1.9 was released a few weeks ago
  171. # [04:17] <mpilgrim> the release before that was in 2007
  172. # [04:17] * Joins: sayrer (n=chatzill@user-160vobr.cable.mindspring.com)
  173. # [04:17] <roc> the other issues are still pretty big issues
  174. # [04:18] <sayrer> but they are not legal ones, to speak to mpilgrim's point
  175. # [04:18] <sayrer> not having access to the system update stream is a problem, for sure
  176. # [04:19] <sayrer> and the end game is probably signed executables on Mac OS X
  177. # [04:19] <sayrer> first they came for your iphone, then your tablet, then your laptop, then your tower
  178. # [04:20] <mpilgrim> that's not news; even gruber figured that out after the iphone sdk was released
  179. # [04:20] <sayrer> I am agreeing with you, then
  180. # [04:20] <mpilgrim> yes
  181. # [04:20] <mpilgrim> usually when that happens, it means it's time for me to reexamine my position
  182. # [04:20] <sayrer> haha
  183. # [04:21] <mpilgrim> but i think we are in violent agreement on theora and vorbis
  184. # [04:21] <sayrer> well, probably just tactical disagreement
  185. # [04:22] <sayrer> at any rate, I don't think Mozilla would choose to ship/maintain an ogg vorbis implementation if it didn't have to
  186. # [04:22] <sayrer> roc knows better, though
  187. # [04:22] <roc> depends what you mean by "have to"

  189. # [04:23] <mpilgrim> i am... disappointed (but not surprised) that my employer is shipping h.264
  190. # [04:23] <roc> If Quicktime and DirectShow supported Ogg Vorbis and Theora, would we just plug into them?
  191. # [04:23] <mpilgrim> and elated (and surprised) that we are shipping theora
  192. # [04:23] <roc> Probably not
  193. # [04:23] <sayrer> it makes total sense if you have a h264 license, kinda
  194. # [04:24] <sayrer> roc, why not?
  195. # [04:24] <roc> it makes total sense if you have an H.264 license and don't care whether the Web is royalty-free
  196. # [04:24] <sayrer> well, or you care more about everything working in your minority browser
  197. # [04:25] <sayrer> we have been there, in not so patent-encumbered areas
  198. # [04:25] <roc> /don't care/don't care very much/
  199. # [04:25] <sayrer> fair enough
  200. # [04:26] <roc> sayrer: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roc/archives/2009/06/directshow_and.html
  201. # [04:26] <sayrer> but that
  202. # [04:26] <sayrer> is for any directshow thing
  203. # [04:27] <sayrer> if we sniff for ogg, we could only send ogg
  204. # [04:27] <roc> oh, you're suggesting we could use DirectShow but only for Ogg?
  205. # [04:27] <sayrer> well, system ogg from anyone
  206. # [04:27] <sayrer> anyone but us
  207. # [04:27] <roc> I don't really see the point
  208. # [04:27] <roc> it would just make our lives harder
  209. # [04:27] <sayrer> oh?
  210. # [04:27] <roc> we'd be driving the codec from arm's length
  211. # [04:28] <sayrer> that
  212. # [04:28] <sayrer> is true. less control.
  213. # [04:28] <roc> we'd have to interact with different versions of the codec
  214. # [04:28] <sayrer> but ogg in firefox would work with ogg in browser foo.
  215. # [04:28] <roc> we'd be exposed if the vendor didn't do security updates
  216. # [04:28] <sayrer> that last part is our problem
  217. # [04:28] * mpilgrim is unclear how all of these problems don't bother apple
  218. # [04:29] <roc> mpilgrim: they control the framework
  219. # [04:29] <othermaciej> of third-party codecs?
  220. # [04:29] <roc> mpilgrim: and they control almost all the codecs that actual users have installed
  221. # [04:29] <sayrer> they control the things that work on iphones and ipods
  222. # [04:29] <sayrer> and probably apple tvs and god knows what else
  223. # [04:29] <roc> mpilgrim: I have been told that there have already been Quicktime changes to make it work better/safer with Web video
  224. # [04:30] <othermaciej> there are, I believe, a number of popular QuickTime codec add-ons besides Ogg (I'm not sure Ogg is even the most popular)
  225. # [04:30] <mpilgrim> i'd guess divx is the most popular
  226. # [04:30] <mpilgrim> due to existing bundling and massive marketing
  227. # [04:30] <sayrer> they don't work on the ipod though
  228. # [04:30] <sayrer> interoperability problems
  229. # [04:31] <othermaciej> the fact that Apple can ship good quality versions of the codecs we care about to all our target platforms is sufficient
  230. # [04:31] <othermaciej> we don't consider allowing other codecs to plug in a problem
  231. # [04:31] <othermaciej> I wouldn't even rule out a future Safari being able to use DirectShow on Windows
  232. # [04:31] <sayrer> yes, Apple has explicitly stated that control is the issue
  233. # [04:32] * Joins: dolske (n=dolske@64.9.241.99)
  234. # [04:32] <sayrer> so if other people plug in, and don't disrupt that control, it is a non issue
  235. # [04:32] <othermaciej> Mozilla seems to have even greater control issues in that you don't even want to let other people plug in (short of forking)
  236. # [04:32] <sayrer> that seems weird to say...
  237. # [04:33] <sayrer> we allow people to plug in and do basically anything
  238. # [04:34] <sayrer> including undermine the business model of our biggest partners
  239. # [04:34] <mpilgrim> could a firefox extension provide support for other video formats in the <video> element?
  240. # [04:34] <sayrer> I don't know off hand, but I think we should allow that
  241. # [04:34] <roc> Quicktime had 10 security fixes in June, for a variety of pretty much unused formats
  242. # [04:34] <roc> that's a whole lot of attack surface that I don't really want to be exposed to
  243. # [04:35] <sayrer> in theory, the extension setup should allow it
  244. # [04:35] <sayrer> but there might be details to thwart
  245. # [04:35] <roc> mpilgrim: that's not possible right now
  246. # [04:35] <othermaciej> fwiw we restrict the set of codecs we support, mainly to remove things that aren't audio/video codecs at all (since QuickTime is overly general) and some obsolete codecs
  247. # [04:35] <sayrer> roc, bummer. how come?
  248. # [04:35] <othermaciej> but it's a blacklist, not a whitelist
  249. # [04:36] <othermaciej> so third-party codecs are not excluded
  250. # [04:36] <roc> sayrer: because the decoder interface is reasonably nice and frequently changing, not an XPCOM pain barrier
  251. # [04:37] <sayrer> oh, and there is no higher level thing to plug into?
  252. # [04:37] <sayrer> short of rewriting the video element, obviously
  253. # [04:37] <roc> no

  257. # [04:37] <roc> there are decoders, nsOggDecoder and nsWaveDecoder
  258. # [04:37] <roc> and there are services that decoders can use, like the media cache
  259. # [04:38] <sayrer> but there is no way to register as a decoder?
  260. # [04:38] <roc> no
  261. # [04:38] <sayrer> ok
  262. # [04:38] <roc> the decoder list is compiled in
  263. # [04:38] <roc> fixing that would be pretty easy
  264. # [04:38] <roc> but the interface is very much C++ and not all pure virtual functions
  265. # [04:38] <roc> and it changes a lot
  266. # [04:38] <sayrer> we could promise only source compatibility
  267. # [04:39] <roc> perhaps the biggest problem is that the symbols you need to use aren't exported from libxul
  268. # [04:39] <mpilgrim> seems like i've started a constructive conversation
  269. # [04:39] <mpilgrim> so this is what it feels like...
  270. # [04:39] <roc> mpilgrim: no, sayrer's exploring a road that I don't think is that interesting to go down
  271. # [04:40] <sayrer> see, fool's gold
  272. # [04:40] <sayrer> roc, I can see exploding maintainability
  273. # [04:41] <sayrer> roc, but why do you think it is not interesting?
  274. # [04:41] <roc> realistically the value of supporting pluggable codecs on the Web is very low

  276. # [04:41] <mpilgrim> so othermaciej was right; firefox's audio/video support is tightly controlled
  277. # [04:41] <roc> since most people won't have them, Web authors can't use them
  278. # [04:41] <mpilgrim> by virtue of being hardcoded and not extensible
  279. # [04:42] <sayrer> mpilgrim, on one axis, you are right.
  280. # [04:42] <mpilgrim> i'm not saying it was intentional
  281. # [04:42] <mpilgrim> it seems more like a side effect
  282. # [04:42] <mpilgrim> but as you would say, "the end result is the same"
  283. # [04:43] <doublec> the point of video originally was not to be a plugin based system wasn't it?
  284. # [04:43] <sayrer> fair, but the end result is not quite the same
  285. # [04:43] <othermaciej> although roc implied in his blog post that it was an active goal not to support other codecs (no idea if other Mozillians share his views)
  286. # [04:43] <doublec> once codec, that could be assured to work across all systems
  287. # [04:43] <doublec> so content providers didn't have to wonde
  288. # [04:43] <doublec> r if their format would work
  289. # [04:43] <roc> I don't think it's oppressive to fail to have extension points
  290. # [04:43] <sayrer> yes, when the full browser is open source
  291. # [04:44] <sayrer> (yes, except for the effing logos, mpilgrim)
  292. # [04:44] <roc> if someone's got a great open source codec, and they're willing to do some work, we can integrate it
  293. # [04:44] <sayrer> it may prove to be irrelevant
  294. # [04:44] <sayrer> firefox seems to take share from safari
  295. # [04:45] <sayrer> and Chrome will probably take share from both
  296. # [04:45] <mpilgrim> there are few codecs that are modern, interesting, used, open, and royalty-free
  297. # [04:46] <mpilgrim> (for the record, i don't think chrome has any support either for adding video codecs in its upcoming extension system)
  298. # [04:46] <sayrer> one thing that puzzles me is the ambivalence towards mpeg-la's intention to charge
  299. # [04:46] <sayrer> that seems incredibly bad
  300. # [04:47] <sayrer> and it
  301. # [04:48] <sayrer> it's not clear to me that joint client/publishers like apple and google have to face that
  302. # [04:48] <roc> what puzzles me is the reluctance of some people I respect to do anything to help avoid a royalty-required format becoming part of the Web platform
  303. # [04:48] <sayrer> I think that they care about other things more
  304. # [04:50] <sayrer> and there is certainly a willingness to believe that the latest winner of a benchmark contest has sealed the deal

  308. # [04:52] <othermaciej> for what little it's worth, my personal position is that on the whole, royalty-bearing standards and software patents in general are a bad thing for the industry, but I don't have the means to do anything about it in this case

  825. # [16:29] <Lachy> the spec says they should reflect the content attributes

  979. # [20:54] <takkaria> no
  980. # [20:55] <jgraham> You could use tr > td:nth-of-type or something
  981. # [20:55] <jgraham> (although that wouldn't allow for hte possibility of mixed td/th in rows)
  982. # [20:57] <Dashiva> jgraham: It also fails with colspan
  983. # [20:57] <jgraham> True
  984. # [20:57] <Dashiva> jgraham: It works in some browsers, with some styles
  985. # [20:57] <Dashiva> Styling <col>, that is
  986. # [20:57] <jgraham> CSS could grow a column selector I guess
  987. # [20:58] <jgraham> (but colspan seems hard in general. What happens if I style the third column but have a cell that spans from the first to the fifth column?)
