I thought Chrome came bundled with Flash Player
http://techcrunch.com/2010/06/25/google-chrome-flash/ http://techcrunch.com/2010/06/25/google-chrome-flash/
...which supports H.264 in an MP4 container...

....so I'm not clear on what's actually happening here. Is Chrome going to just stop handing off MP4/H.264 from video tags to the bundled Flash Player even though it's there and can play it? Or will it stop bundling Flash Player? Or bundle a crippled Flash Player? None of the above?
- app 16y agoThey aren't supporting h.264 in the <video> element anymore, meaning there won't be anymore HTML5 video players that use h.264. As for Flash, who knows?
- chc 16y agoAFAIK they're not going to stop handing off video tags to Flash Player, because they never started doing that in the first place.
- junklight 16y agoYes - I'm really struggling to see why anyone who delivers video would do anything other than: does it support H.264? if not then play with flash. which is easy. Especially compared to - re-encode all my stuff and change complex encoding workflows. The average user isn't even going to be able to tell the difference.
