Only the free version doesn't support h264. If you get the paid version, you get h264 support. My understanding is that this is not BM's fault, simply the way license agreements for that codec work.

Vivaldi browser also doesnt ship codecs. They simply use whatever is available in the system. Means they might be the only browser that crashes when trying to play video in Windows N. But even they are able to use ffmpeg codecs installed in Linux. https://help.vivaldi.com/article/html5-proprietary-media-on-linux/ https://help.vivaldi.com/article/html5-proprietary-media-on-... https://gist.github.com/ruario/bec42d156d30affef655 https://gist.github.com/ruario/bec42d156d30affef655 I venture a guess DaVinci Resolve not using already installed codecs is either one of the ways to generate sales, or result of strong arming by MPEG LA.

That's totally on them and is plainly wrong. They can simply use OpenH264 to load H.264 videos, but they choose not to. Cisco paid for all H.264 royalties on any platform (under the condition that you use their binaries) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenH264 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenH264 And this was back in 2013.
