But, again, everything you say hinges on browsers (namely, IE and Safari) adding support for WebM, not Chrome dropping support for H.264.
If everyone supports WebM, then WebM wrapped in a <video> element is a viable choice.
Not everyone supports WebM at the moment.
How does Chrome dropping support for H.264 bring us closer to everyone supporting WebM? Support for the two codecs isn't mutually exclusive. Google is no more on board with WebM today than they were yesterday--they've removed support for H.264, not added it for WebM.
- commandar 16y ago> Google is no more on board with WebM today than they were yesterday--they've removed support for H.264, not added it for WebM. They've made it very clear the intention is to add it. I've said it's not happening overnight, and I really don't understand this attitude that if it hasn't happened instantly then everything is worse.
