Google and Mozilla to create a joint next gen video codec?

here is some discussion on brandon eich's blog (mozilla ceo):

Code:
user:
What is happening with Daala and VP9? Have you asked google if they will join forces with you and just make a single codec otherwise we will have the same
 issue that we had with h.264 vs webm, we need a single next gen video codec.

Daala is a way out still. I’ll let Robert O'Callahan and others respond at greater length.

The next-gen free codec issue is being worked on. I don’t want to say much about it here, but we are organizing a group at the IETF to standardize it.
It looks as though google, mozilla and xiph may join forces to create a single next gen patent-free video codec of similar quality to HEVC. This would be wonderful news Google had previously said that VP9 was scheduled for Q3 2013 btw, so we shouldn't expect a codec from anybody until atleast then.

That sounds like quite a challenge if they are going to actively avoid patents. Lets hope the standard they produce is a better quality document than VP8 and that they ask for "public" input before they make the bitstream final.

I am hoping we will get a "Opus" equivalent for video codec, dont know if that is possible or not.

Would they have a standard this time around or just reference implementation again?

git clone http://git.chromium.org/webm/libvpx.git
git checkout experimental

I open the git bash, and type "git clone http://git.chromium.org/webm/libvpx.git" and enter,
the program stop at the line "cloning into libvpx", and nothing is downloaded.
Why?

I think VP9 will be released in a similar manner of VP8. However there is an ongoing working group (WG) for an Opus-like IETF standardized video codec. The participants have mail domain name of Cisco.com, Xiph.org, Juniper.net, Mozilla.org, Google and others. See more info about the first meeting (2012-11-05) here:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting...#wg-videocodec
Note the Google VPnext presentation, Google is likely interested in the standardizing effort, however this is probably a long term solution, VP9 should be completed sooner (just guessing from what I read on the net).

To keep updated see also the video-codec WG mailing list:

Why?
It works fine here:

Cloning into 'libvpx'...

Make sure your Internet connection works and use git 1.5.4 or newer as specified here: http://www.webmproject.org/code/build-prerequisites/

Yesterday I type the same command line and it works. Perhaps there is some problem with my network. Thank you.

Seems like it, someone from Google's already talking about VP9 + Opus in WebM:

By Opus like, i was referring to its technical superiority rather then patents free, IETF or whats not. Opus perform better then all other popular codec as a real time voice codec and also as a lossy music codec. And there is still a lot of improvement and tuning to be made for such a young codec!

I am not sure if such technical superiority is possible with x264 as a competitor.
