Part 1: What is WebM and Why We cannot Open WebM on iPhone?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Google launched and sponsored the WebM project, and WebM here indicates an audiovisual media file format. It is primarily intended to offer a royalty-free alternative to use in the HTML5 video and the HTML5 audio elements. It has a sister project WebP for images. By nature, VLC media player, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Google Chrome are able to read WebM files directly, but for Internet Explorer and Safari, the story is different because Apple's QuickTime player codec doesn't support WebM. <\/p>\n
