If they're supporting HTML 5's video tag in Safari, then it must be H.264. -- Chris

Kewl - open standards FTW! Proprietary software is all very well, but proprietary data formats suck. -- Pd

Well...the current argument at Mozilla is that h.264 -is- a proprietary data format, in that you need to license it to use it. They don't support h.264 via HTML 5, only Ogg Theora which is said to be unencumbered by patents. Myself I say support it and delegate to the underlying OS, but there you go. Cheers, Ian |
