I sent this note to a friend who wrote back:
"I agree with Jobs... Having been involved in video archiving for more
than a decade I can honestly say that there are literally hundreds of
video and audio codecs which compress the data to serve a particular
niche. I am not aware of any niche that has not been beat to death.
Every single codec is designed for a purpose and that purpose is to make
money for the designer (why else?). They come up with technical
yada-yada to say why it is better than another but it is just
propaganda. Personally, I prefer plain old MPEG for most applications."

Apple CEO Steve Jobs apparently lacks faith in Google's newly announced
VP8 WebM video codec, reportedly citing a developer blog post that
condemns the codec as slow, buggy and at risk for patent violations.
