Then an open standard video codec will be just fine for HTML 5.
I'd like to see consumers win over vendors and have consumers dictate any vendors; unfortunately, this will not happen in the future. sad

Oh-- can't believed Microsoft embraced an OOXML document format as an ISO standard... Microsoft and any other propriety vendors will always be looking for weakness in open standards... sad *sigh*

I know that typical response will be "move to Linux," but I have an AverMedia H788 Hybrid HDTV tuner that only works with Windows (bad decision on my part as I did not research Linux compatibility with HDTV tuners before I got myself an AverMedia H788 about 4 to 6 months ago)...
