camera/camcorder that supports webm or ogg
Do you know of any cameras that save videos as webm or ogg?
These cameras do ogm
And the FSF likes them
Nice find lembas!
Those cameras look awesome. It's nice to know that these exist,even if they're priced out of most peoples' reach. I see that Ephel's market is probably businesses.
I wonder what it would take to get one of those cameras in working order for regular people.

not much I think, well if you use ssh and ffmpeg then I guess it
wouldn't be to hard. In fact I think(?) I remember them having a cool
looking pro GUI, have a look for what software they provide.
I'm surprised there aren't more of these as the formats are royalty free and if you want to upload to the web, you can do it natively in WebM.
I wouldn't want Theora support, but a more modern codec like VP9. Of course Vorbis or Opus for audio to complement the video in the WebM container.
> VP9
I take it you haven't used VP9 yet. I have and nah, you don't want that yet. It's still being worked on - The encoder needs much optimization (read, is incredibly slow right now.) By slow I mean taking 3 days to encode a 45 minute 720p video that VP8 can do in an hour (all same settings, same hardware, etc.) The encoder will improve in time, of course, but for now what you'd really want in a camera is VP8, and being software upgradeable to the new codec later on once it's ready to do real-time encoding (which is a necessity on a camera and VP9 is nowhere near being able to encode stuff in real-time right now.)
Or, if you really want to stretch for something - You eventually want VP10: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VP9#VP10
maybe could be done with http://www.elphel.com/
or a webcam that doesn't encode the video it self - outputs raw. I don't
think any hd webcams do this.
early HD cameras (hint: DLSR's ;) ) or camcorders, recorded into mjpeg
which doesn’t have any fees to be paid and so I believe that format is
in the public domain = free.
