For how long? YouTube is encoding HD video in WebM format from now on... what happens if they stop support for h264 all together (very likely)... YouTube, Google and the rest are adopting something crazy called.. OPEN SOURCE STANDARDS... if Apple is smart (and so far they have been stubborn) they will follow suit.. if not.. they wil ONCE AGAIN face bankruptcy due to Jobs' piss ignorant arogance... I have never seen a man take GREAT technology and piss away opportunity like he can... (NeXT)
