Just so we're clear here, browsers have considered implementing a common codec
and were unable to come to agreement. Firefox, Chrome, and Opera refuse to
support H.264 at all because it's not usable royalty-free, and IE and Safari
refuse to support VP8 or Theora by default because they might be covered by
unknown patents. So you'd either have to convince Mozilla and Google and Opera
to drop their ideological commitment to a royalty-free web, or convince
Microsoft and Apple to accept the patent risk of VP8 or Theora. You'll be
unsuccessful at both, but feel free to try.
