Scores for codec tests #20

Closed zcorpan closed 14 years ago

zcorpan commented 14 years ago

It seems not so good to give extra points for supporting patent encumbered codecs. Mozilla and Opera have stated publicly that they only want to support royalty free codecs.

Maybe you should give full score for video codecs if either MPEG-4/H.264 baseline or Ogg/Theora is supported, and same score if both are supported. For audio, it seems WAVE/PCM should be a no-brainer for anyone to support, so I don't mind a lower score if WAVE/PCM is not supported. But WAVE/PCM plus MPEG-4/AAC low-complexity or WAVE/PCM plus Ogg/Vorbis should give full score, IMHO.

I see now that http://github.com/NielsLeenheer/html5test/blob/master/index.html uses bonus points for codecs instead. That's fine, feel free to close this bug.
