Ask HN: Apple is always right.

H.264 vs WebM

H.264 pros: - technically more advanced - more widely used and embedded

WebM pros: - somewhat "freer/opener/non-proprietaryier/no licensing fees"

Flash vs HTML5

Flash pros: - technically more advanced - more widely used and embedded

HTML5 pros: - somewhat "freer/opener/non-proprietaryier"

On some level it's kinda paradox, if someone wants Flash to be replaced by HTML5 and H.264 to become the new web-video standard (if they use the above arguments for their opinion), no?
