Same, Flash serves h264 to my old core2 laptop, html5 forces shitty VP8. Result is smooth 720p of mpeg4 versus playable 640x480 on googles codec. Of course computer itself plays 1080p h264 perfectly fine in mplayer, so I might end up writing javascript that fires mplayer with mp4 link (to stream rather than downloading whole clip) instead of displaying video in the browser :( There used to be mplayer plugin for firefox a loong time ago, nowadays all browsers use building unoptimized codecs.
