There are two aspects here: 1. HTML5 does not require specific image, audio, caption, or video formats. It is format agnostic and there is a desire in the Working Group to keep it that way. 2. If you're aware of a video format that everyone is willing to support, feel to write a proposal. Note that the IETF is in the middle of discussion to create a Group on video codecs. Cf also the statement we sent to them back in November. They released last year Opus, an audio codec that covers use cases needed for WebRTC. Philippe
