[webkit-dev] Feature announcement: Web VHS API

[Michael Saboff]

I had heard that there is some disagreement among browser vendors as to video formats being supported with the Web VHS API.  Safari will only support the Not Too Saturated Colors (NTSC) format to improve clarity, while Chrome has agreed to the Paint As Lines (PAL) vectorizing format.  Opera will only support See Every Color As Magenta (SECAM) format to reduce bandwidth.  I also heard plug-ins are being developed to bridge the formats.
