There is the free Google VP8 codec, you have to dig to find it on their developer pages.
Untested in VMS afaik.

It won't work with Vegas, as it's not VfW. There are third party free tools to encode in webm, e.g. SUPER. Then, VLC is the best way to decode webm to test it. If you want to edit first, export in an intermediate codec, like Huffyuv, so SUPER/ffmpeg can read it. Ffmpeg will also read Avid DNxHD.

The Google VP8 VFW codec works in Vegas Pro. Made many tests last year using it and decided that h264 is better for now.

You're talking about AVI VP8, not webm. It's not for sure that every HTML5 browser with VP8 support also supports the format in the AVI container. The standard/suggested one is .webm, that's the one Vegas doesn't support.
