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.
New Supported Browsers!
Good news from the browsers front: We have crossed the 50% support rate during this summer.
Website outage
MP4repair.org has been offline for 60 hours (Sun 2 – Mon 3 – Tue 4 September). Please accept our apologies.
According to Murphy’s law, your website will go offline at the worst possible moment. This is exactly what happened.
We had an UPS (Uninterruptible power supply) to prevent summer storms from leaving our server without juice. It failed.
I discovered the problem on Sunday morning, but since I was over 1000 km away from the server, ending my hard-earned vacations, nothing could be done until today.
Lessons learnt: Protection equipments can also fail. Self-hosting will never give you 99.9% availability.
Internet Explorer 10
Windows 8 will only be released in fall 2012, but many people is already using the “Consumer Preview” that ships with Internet Explorer 10.
Internet Explorer 10 is the first version of Microsoft browser that supports modern HTML5 and Javascript APIs: Hooray! it will work with MP4repair.org!
MP4repair.org now works for 45% of Desktop users
According to caniuse.com, 45% of Desktop users (this excludes mobile devices) use a supported browser.
As of today, Firefox (versions 6 and higher) and Chrome (versions 13 and higher) are fully supported. In the near future, Safari (version 5.2 and higher) and Internet Explorer (version 10, shipping this year) will bring the supported browser share near to 100%.
