The html5-preview on youtube.com (http://www.youtube.com/html5) doesn't work at all, but it does play in safari and epiphany-webkit.

Given the Ubuntu commitment to free software, do we really want to enable support for patented codec?

Given the Ubuntu commitment to free software, do we really want to enable support for patented codec? With firefox 3.5 html5 was introduced.

How stable that code is? Which regression could introduce? 3. Given the Ubuntu commitment to free software, do we really want to enable support for other codecs other than the officially supported free ones?

Note that youtube already supports webm/vp8 (altough still not for all videos), while wikipedia supports ogg/theora. Which important sites require other codecs? 3. Chrome supports H.264, but promised to drop support for it ( http://blog.chromium.org/2011/01/html-video-codec-support-in-chrome.html ). 4. How stable that code is? Which regression could introduce? 5. Given the Ubuntu commitment to free software, do we really want to enable support for other codecs other than the officially supported free ones?
