Though it’s not like we users are twiddling our thumbs waiting for video support; at this point, nearly all of the world’s online computers have one or more such plug-ins installed See the original post: Open Video Welcomes Video Into the Browser [...]

But I also wish that Microsoft could be more industry cooperative, but they probably won’t do so. Well, either way, in the near future, I think Google (and others) will continue to outpace MS with virtualization and open source software apps. What is Silverlight anyway? Proprietary spyware and embedded advertising? No thank you.

One of the big challenges that Flash (and Silverlight for that matter) face is that if they don’t build enough support into their products, people will just code in HTML 5 and bypass the need for third party plugins. This won’t seem like a big deal to the end user, but if more and more developers start transitioning away from these closed environments, it could have a big impact on how online video ends up evolving.

A publisher could then use whatever codec they wished and instruct their users on how to install the codec.

Why does Adobe support only 2 codecs in the Flash video component? I’m very curious to know if it’s a simple business decision or there is some sort of major technical issue (they seem to have added h.264 easily enough). Again, they don’t need to ship the codecs, just support user-installed codecs (as QuickTime and Windows Media Player do).

Hoping an Adobe rep is reading this…
