It was a pretty big deal a while ago that quicktime support H.264; off hand, I'm pretty sure they supported it for years before MS did. If firefox supports quicktime, they support H.264. EDIT: Well, I'll eat my hat. I'm not sure why Firefox needs a different licensing agreement on OSX when they COULD just hook into quicktime without any licensing fees at all. I'm probably grossly misunderstanding the situation. EDIT2: Ok, so I guess AVFoundation is just the objective-c frontend for OSX's media libs. I can't for the life of me understand why it took them so long to implement.
