WebM support
I have Big Sur 11.4.
I know that according to Apple Insider as of February 2021 they mentioned WebM is coming to Macs finally 11 years after it's launch... I was happy to hear that...
and even https://webm.html5.org ... tells me today with 11.4 my browser supports WebM...
OK... Macs are supposed to support WebM format now... but..
I have many WebM files on my computer and they only open in Chrome, Firefox or Opera.
I cannot open them with Safari. It's greyed out and dragging and dropping into a browser window shows a video file marked off and won't play.
Also WebP files don't work well in Safari. They play very poorly.
So... What is actually going on?
I have a website with WebM and WebP files and i'd like to host only one version of a file for everyone but due to the codec wars I host 3 different versions of each video for:
New Macs, 4k HEVC
Old Macs, 1080 HEVC
And PC or Non-Safari Computers. 4k VP9 (They don't support HEVC)
My 2015 Mac still won't play a 4k video even in Big Sur 11.4. But an iPhone 8 will... iOS 13 or so.
So a simple solution would have been everybody just use VP9 and WebM but... it seems that didn't happen... or if it did... I dunno why I can't.
So I just wanna know if Mac is really supporting WebM or not.
thanx
