Same here. But I continue to endure a WebM only world. I miss out all the vimeo screen casts.. but so what? just means i will have to find another tutorial in text and life moves on.
Or should firefox charge a fee for each user? it is crazy, even so when the alternative is already existent and open standard.
what is even crazier is that they demand a payment, for a spec which only "benefit" over the open source code is that they can add DRM on top of it, so they can also charge the end user.
Has anyone seen any recent news on why Google/youtube doesn't do this btw? The already do transcoding for different quality? And/or if they have any plans for a html5-based viewer that supports ads etc?
Almost nothing supports it. And with Apple dominating in web usage, editing tools and phones/tablets it is hard to see any format surviving without their support. And of course they are fully behind H.265.
I for one rather watch youtube (and uploads my videos there) because vimeo is a pain to watch (have to go get my closed source tablet). while youtube i can just hunt for a non-ad version that will work on html5.
