Internet Explorer 9 a fost lansat recent, iar una dintre caracteristicile mai importante ale acestuia este ca are suport integrat pentru materiale video. Din pacate pentru Google, Microsoft a luat in considerare doar suportul pentru H.264, si deci nu veti putea vedea videoclipuri in format WebM fara sa instalati inca un plugin. Pentru a rezolva problema pentru suportul WebM, Google a dezvoltat un plugin pentru Internet Explorer 9.
Plugin-ul functioneaza doar pe sistemele de operare Windows 7 sau Vista, singurele sisteme de operare suportate la ora actuala de Internet Explorer 9. Google ne sugereaza sa cautam videoclipuri WebM pe YouTube.
Singura intrebare este de ce a mai creat Google acest plugin daca player-ul HTML5 integrat in YouTube suporta filmele H.264 ?
Google se dedica open-source-ului, pentru ca au vazut beneficiile (de ex. Linux-ul, Apache, Python pe care le folosesc ei pe servere sau Firefox, pe care eu oricum il recomand oricui fata de Internet Explorer, fie el si 9)
A trebuit creat un nou codec pentru a sprijini un standard nou HTML5 cu o licență accesibila.
Wikipedia: In countries where patents on software algorithms are upheld, vendors and commercial users of products that use H.264/AVC are expected to pay patent licensing royalties for the patented technology[8] that their products use. This applies to the Baseline Profile as well.

Benefits of WebM
Openness and innovation. A key factor in the web’s success is that its core technologies such as HTML, HTTP, and TCP/IP are open for anyone to implement and improve. With video being core to the web experience, a high-quality, open video format choice is needed. WebM is 100% free, and open-sourced under a BSD-style license.
*
Optimized for the web. Serving video on the web is different from traditional broadcast and offline mediums. Existing video formats were designed to serve the needs of these mediums and do it very well. WebM is focused on addressing the unique needs of serving video on the web.

Low computational footprint to enable playback on any device, including low-power netbooks, handhelds, tablets, etc.*

Simple container format
