Google kills H.264 video support in Chrome
11 January 2011, 6:33 pm

Your move, Apple: Google announced that it is changing Chrome's support of HTML5's video tag to be, in Google's view,  more friendly towards open development. The H.264 codec is being removed in favor of the Theora and VP8 video codecs, as well as any higher-quality open source codecs. The resources that were used on H.264 will instead be used in supporting these open source technologies.
