Support for WebM video Codec

[lrm]

it would be great if laytheme by default would support the webM codec in the "add html video" context,

it allows smaller filesizes than .mp4 and from what i read is more stable when playing lots of videos on one page at the same time.

[arminunruh]

does it work for mac now?

[shmoo]

unfortunately not - it works fine in Chrome but safari is having problems

[arminunruh]

ok i see!
so we still don't need webm support right?

[charlotte.dan]

we would be happy to use web format. they are still not displayed in safari. do you have a solution?
