Google has made available for download a new release of its open source browser designed to support what is being advertised as the future of video on the Internet, namely the WebM media format. Version 6.0.412.0 of Chrome is already offered to early adopters, but, in all fairness, the release is actually Chromium, the underlining open source project at the base of Google Chrome. Users should be aware of the fact that Build 6.0.412.0 of Chromium is nothing more than a nightly build, certainly not intended for use in production environments, but only for testing.

“WebM is an open, royalty-free media file format designed for the web. WebM files consist of video streams compressed with the VP8 video codec and audio streams compressed with the Vorbis audio codec. The WebM file structure is based on the Matroska media container,” an excerpt of the project’s definition reads.... Link Removed - Invalid URL
 

The release of Chromium version 6.0.412.0 introduces support for the WebM media format, which is considered to be the future of video on the Internet. WebM is an open, royalty-free media file format specifically crafted for web usage. Key features of WebM include video streams compressed with the VP8 video codec and audio streams compressed with the Vorbis audio codec. The file format is structured based on the Matroska media container.
It's important to note that while Chromium Build 6.0.412.0 is available for download, it is a nightly build primarily meant for early adopters and testing purposes. This particular build is not intended for production environments due to its experimental and potentially unstable nature. Users should exercise caution and avoid using this version in critical or stable production settings.
If you are interested in exploring the capabilities and innovations brought by WebM and Chromium 6.0.412.0, you can download and test it out, keeping in mind the experimental nature of the software.
