Not all videos are in webm format, you can add &webm=1 to any search URL.
ie. Hacker News search: about 3,780,000 results, about 1,320,000 results with webm flag.
In fact sometimes I get an an error like this: http://i.imgur.com/dBPICoM.png http://i.imgur.com/dBPICoM.png
(using Chromium 25.0.1364.172 with no h.264 support)
I don't know if this is because of ads or what.
EDIT: typo
- ZeroGravitas 13y agoThey claimed to be encoding all new videos uploaded, and to have already processes up to 30% of their entire back-catalogue, and 99% of viewed videos about two years ago. So I'm guessing they're pretty much done by now. http://youtube-global.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/mmm-mmm-good-youtube-videos-now-served.html#uds-search-results http://youtube-global.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/mmm-mmm-good-yo... If I do a similar search to yours, the ones that disappear from the &webm=1 search are all presented to me with Flash, not with HTML5/H.264 but I believe if you embed them in another site you should get the HTML5/Webm version (not actually tested this, just read it as a workaround). You could also try searching for them on a Wii, since it's Youtube app uses Webm.
