Completely agree bonaldi. What a stupid move by Google. In order to promote their own technology they are setting back HTML5 video another year or 2 so they can fluff around and whine about which video codec is better.

I could understand other companies not implementing WebM because it was a new codec developed by Google with no existing community or anything around it.

But such a widely used codec (all my videos are H.264), I don't understand.

Can't they just all support each others codec's, get this stupid war over with and start a large scale push of HTML5.
