Anyone using Webp?
-
Just wondering if anyone has tried out this format. It's only supported by Chrome of coarse, but it compresses better than jpeg and supports transparency (unfortunately, not alpha transparancy just yet)
-
Only when it was new. Does their encoder still suck? JPG is ancient and outdated, and WebP is theoretically better (though not state of the art), but libvpx (used to?) optimize for PSNR which is an almost useless quality metric (it loves blur - humans don't).
How about JPEG XR? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_XR[^] I'm curious to how it compares to WebP with compression and quality...

A lot of standards start off with one company introducing it and, if it's a good idea, everyone else adopting it (that's how ajax came about). You can be waiting for a long time for a standands commitee to approve something
There is no Ajax standard, because there is no Ajax product. Ajax is a concept, (one which I was using in earnest about two years before anyone coined the "AJAX" acronym). Unfortunately there are several competing frameworks that implement Ajax concepts in different ways, and the sad fact is that too often developers forget what it is that they're actually doing. In most Ajax situations it is FAR more efficient to write 5 lines of cross-browser code and implement a "custom" solution than to waste resources downloading and executing overly complex frameworks. Rant over. Derek TP
