Talk:WebM, VP8 and VP9

WebM or VP8?

Since Ogg Vorbis and Matroska aren't expected to be the target of any controversy, and since if they were, then they'd merit their own pages since they're used more widely than just by WebM, I'm thinking that this page should be specifically about VP8. Ciaran 13:53, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

I changed the title to "VP8 and WebM". That highlights both, so it will be easier to find. Ciaran 18:17, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

That's fine. I was wondering what to do about that, as two separate pages seemed a bad idea. We have redirects, so nobody will get lost. steelpillow 21:50, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
