H.264 through HTML5 is a pipe dream and likely to be unaccepted for a long period of time It is already supported in every browser except Internet Explorer. content providers like Youtube and Hulu aren't going to allow or be allowed to provide their video in H.264 YouTube already provides their video in H.264. The Flash player is just a way of decoding what is otherwise a regular H.264 video file, which is exactly as easy to download as any other.
