About today’s outage

MP4repair.org has experienced today (October, 28th) a five hours outage.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience.

Such events are fortunately very rare, since May 2013 we hadn’t faced such a serious problem.
This outage has originated at our hosting vendor and is not specific to MP4repair.org, so the good news is that MP4repair.org has not been compromised. It has just been offline for a few hours.

Firefox 20 for Windows will include support for H.264, AAC, and MP3 playback

Good news on the browsers front: Firefox 20 will support H.264 playback!

Don’t rush to download it, it’s only available in alpha “Aurora” channel as of now. Beta should be out and February and release in April 2013.

This will improve MP4repair.org experience when repairing videos containing H.264: Until now, a QuickTime plug-in was need to see the LivePreview (otherwise only still frames every few seconds were displayed). With H.264 support, Firefox will be on par with Chrome, Internet Explorer 10 and Safari: All 4 major browser will have native LivePreview of H.264 videos (the most popular format found on MP4repair.org)

Good job, Mozilla folks.
