@waifu @cell GNU/Jihad against "open source"!!!!!.

webp and webm are free formats and have free software libraries implementing them, thus there is no problem with the freedom of those formats.

webp uses VP8 and it is indeed technically better than JPEG and is also optionally lossless like PNG with a smaller filesize.


webm is a cut down version of the mkv container format that can contain VP8, VP9, AV1, vorbis and opus. It's a perfectly fine container if that's all you want to encode, but otherwise it's inferior to full mkv.
