We use the Git version control software. If you are unfamiliar with Git, the fastest way to get the code is to download one of the versioned snapshots. To learn about Git, we recommend you start with the documentation.

WebM Repositories

Changed URLs

September 2011 Note carefully that our repository URLs have recently changed. If you have existing clones, please update .git/config in your working copy, and perhaps update your ssh configuration. To commit, it will also be necessary to create a new user account at gerrit.chromium.org and to re-upload your public keys.

libvpx: The VP8 Codec SDK

Note for Windows Users

Building the source code from git requires that you be familiar with and have installed a Unix-like environment such as Cygwin or MSYS. If you do not meet these criteria, we recommend you use the most recent Windows source download, which has pre-built Visual Studio projects and solutions included. This package is updated on every release
