Google launches video compression technology (vp9) 2012

Launched « Google » American company specializing in software and Internet services the ninth version of the video compression technology open source (VP9).

And limited company support ninth issue (VP9) version for developers only web browser its « Chrome », and the company has also added support for audio compression technology new and known as (Opus), in an effort to improve the flow of sound in the areas of communication and listening to music online.
He explained one of the developers of the Google Chrome team, Peter Beverlo CrossFireX (VP9) and (Opus) were using the coded data stream and converted to a compressed format and then this decoding, to enable effective use in network speeds conditions and limited storage capacities.
According to developers, gives launch (VP9) Google the opportunity to improve the performance techniques video streaming and improve other aspects that was Atfqr her previous version (VP8), also constitute this technique is an important factor in the quest Google to compete with compression techniques currently prevailing, such as technology H.264 which form is also an attraction for the computing and electronics industry thanks to its support with a better performance in pressure enjoys.
Noteworthy that encoding these techniques have not received details of its attention by the international community of Internet users, but it actually works to open the door is always a bitter debate among developers who prefer H.264 technology, which is characterized by convenience and quality, for those who prefer techniques provided by Google for free.
It is noteworthy that H.264 is the technique used in video clips captured by the video cameras standard, and CD « Blue – ray », and video sharing website « YouTube », and many others, but in return have most of the organizations that use this technique to pay material for the group that known as MPEG LA, which gives licenses to use patents related to H.264 technology and on behalf of their respective owners.
In contrast, sought Google before launch (VP9) to stimulate everyone to adopt a combination of HTML5 with Technology (VP8), and that created originally Foundation On2 Technologies, instead of H.264 in YouTube, the fact that technology (VP8) is characterized as free, but ended attempts failed. The reason for lack of confidence developers the ability of browsers to encode videos using HTML5, in light of the support provided by the browsers « Internet Explorer » from Microsoft, and « Safari » from Apple, technology H.264, for the support of the browser « Firefox » Mozilla Foundation, and « Oprah » technique (VP8), the browser « Chrome » Vidam both techniques.
It should also be noted that Google tried to stimulate the adoption of (VP8) when pledged last year to remove support H.264 from their browser « Chrome », but backtracked on its decision later and kept on supporting technical, to remain in the footsteps of the rest of the systems and browsers that support H.264, such as Firefox, and Windows 7, and the new Windows 8, and operating systems of Apple (OS X and iOS), as well as mobile devices operating system Google’s « Android ».
It is noteworthy that Google had acquired in 2010 at the company On2 Technologies, a developer of technology-(VP8) and (VP9) versus $ 123 million, and then sought Google with its allies to combine (VP8) and technical coding free (Vorbis) to form a special technique flow video, dubbed WebM.
