Uh, have you been under a rock for the last two months? :) It's only
been all over the news ever since May. It's (allegedly)
patent-unencumbered modern video, it's the VP8 format bought out and
open sourced by Google. It's really kind of a big deal. I'd give links,
but honestly, just google it.
Actually, it's a combination of the VP8 video
format, vorbis audio and
modified matroska container (AFAIK you can mux it correctly with F14's
version of mkvtoolnix).
