Let's be clear on profiles. If we seek widest mobile hardware footprint: - ITU-T H.264 Constrained Baseline Profile is probably the most ubiquitous hardware video codec today with reasonable power/performance ratio - ITU-T G.711, both u_law (North America) and A_law (Europe) formats, can be supported by everyone with very trivial software burden -chris -----Original Message----- From: rtcweb-bounces@ietf.org [mailto:rtcweb-bounces@ietf.org] On Behalf Of Markus.Isomaki@nokia.com Sent: Friday, March 23, 2012 5:15 AM To: tterriberry@mozilla.com; stefan.lk.hakansson@ericsson.com Cc: rtcweb@ietf.org Subject: Re: [rtcweb] On video codec for rtcweb Hi, Timothy B.

What codecs are used in them is not under browser control. I believe those mostly use H.264. It's probably possible to use transcoders but so it is between browsers too. I'd say that even if couldn't mandate a single video codec (as it has seemed to me since the beginning), in practice H.264 support would be highly RECOMMENDED (a SHOULD). There might be good reasons not to follow that SHOULD, as it seems to be the case for Mozilla.
