Description Julian Reschke 2011-01-22 16:37:40 UTC
Please remove the Matroska example; the type isn't registered, and the furthermore the specification (at <http://www.matroska.org/technical/specs/notes.html>) doesn't mention a "codecs" parameter.
Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-02-16 09:06:27 UTC
Eric, Dave, foolip, any advice on this?
Comment 2 Philip Jägenstedt 2011-02-16 09:15:03 UTC
Since I assume no one is ever going to support Matroska in <video>, I wouldn't mind removing it.

I don't agree with the reason given though, I think we should have a video/webm example, even though that also isn't registered.

seems it would be easy to update the MIME statement on the indicated page to add "the codecs MIME parameter may be used, as in RFC 4285. For a Matroska file, the value is a list of CodecIDs, for example as in http://www.matroska.org/technical/specs/codecid/index.html"  Then we get both a useful example and documentation.

I don't think that would be appropriate. If someone ever wanted to support Matroska, it's unlikely they'd want to have codecs=V_THEORA instead of codecs=theora.

As a quickfix, just remove the example.

Checked in as WHATWG revision r6057.
Check-in comment: matroska doesn't define this yet, apparently
