I still don't understand the hardware implementations argument. Are you arguing that we should use h.264 as base codec despite its patent situation? Or are you arguing that we should wait until there is some un-encumbered codec with hardware implementations before we have a base codec for the web? Yes, having hardware implementations would be great, but so would a lot of other things that we're dealing without. / Jonas
