  If people are willing to download malware to look at porn, why wouldn't they download a new video codec?

    On the iPhone, they can't. On the desktop, it's more likely that they'll click the back button than download a codec, install it, relaunch their browser and navigate back to your site.

      How do all the Vista and XP users view H.264 videos? Oh yeah, by installing a plugin.

        A plugin called Flash, which %99.99 of them have. 100 million of them have installed VLC, and the standard DirectShow codec packs probably have at least that too.
