VP8 is a video compression format owned by Google and created by On2 Technologies as a successor to VP7.
In May 2010, after the purchase of On2 Technologies, Google provided an irrevocable patent promise on its patents for implementing the VP8 format, and released a specification of the format under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license. That same year, Google also released libvpx, the reference implementation of VP8, under a BSD license.
VP8 is currently supported by Opera, Firefox, Chrome, and Chromium.
VP8 was first released by On2 Technologies on September 13, 2008, as On2 TrueMotion VP8, replacing its predecessor, VP7.
After Google acquired On2 in February 2010, calls for Google to release the VP8 source code were made. Most notably, the Free Software Foundation issued an open letter on March 12, 2010, asking Google to gradually replace the usage of Adobe Flash Player and H.264 on YouTube with a mixture of HTML5 and a freed VP8.
On May 19, 2010, at its Google I/O conference, Google released the VP8 codec software under a BSD-like license and the VP8 bitstream format specification under an irrevocable free patent license. This made VP8 the second product from On2 Technologies to be opened, following their donation of the VP3 codec in 2002 to the Xiph.Org Foundation, from which they derived the Theora codec. In June 2010, Google amended the VP8 codec software license to the 3-clause BSD license after some contention over whether the original license was actually open source.

H246 vs VP8 (webm) [comparison]
Jan Linden, Google. IMTC 20th Anniversary Forum October 8th, 2013.
Frank Galligan, John Luther Video is predicted to comprise 71 percent of all mobile data traffic by 2016 (Source: Cisco). Yet, surprisingly few people understand the formats that majority of that data traffic will use. In this session you will learn the skills required to encode or decode video in your application, with a focus on the royalty-free WebM format. You can find the code covered in the session here: https://code.google.com/p/webm/source/browse/?repo=bindings. For all I/O 2013 sessions, go to https://developers.google.com/live
WebM is Google's codec of preference but the Condec that used to be VP8 from On2 kind of sucks, for a lot of reasons, but some of them are more approachable than others. h.264/AVC/Mpeg4 is superior in every way as a compression format.

Google, after acquiring On2 Technologies, released VP8 in an open-source format as part of its WebM project. Essentially, VP8 is a video codec, much like H.264. Where it shows promise is by allowing service like Skype (which uses VP7) to operate under HTML 5 in a web-based Skype player. In this video, LockerGnome's Brandon Wirtz breaks down the facts and explains what Google's release of VP8 actually means, and how it could impact your web-browsing experience. http://lockergnome.com http://facebook.com/ChrisPirillo http://twitter.com/ChrisPirillo

'Worse' and 'Better' will merge towards 'Equal'. Spline upscaled to 1080p, as the source was slightly under. Clip from Blender Foundation / www.bigbuckbunny.org

Oh! My world came to an end
when you came back
and then it brought us back together
Now I know, there is…
Rock with me people, rock with me
everybody in this bitch clap your hands for me

I don’t feel a thing, rappers delight!
No more pain, goodbye problems
No more nightmares, ghouls or Goblins
