We here at OSNews have taken somewhat of an interest in the new HTML5 video and audio tags, which should - some day - make embedding audio and video material into web pages as easy and straightforward as embedding images, allowing the web to finally remove the shackles of dreadful Flash video. Sadly, the problem with these new tags are the codecs; as it turns out, browser makers have not reached an agreement about what codecs to choose for video, with mostly Apple throwing a spanner in the works, and Microsoft shining in absence.

I've heard that one before!
"Version X wasn't that great, but Version Y will be better!"
Everyone from Linux nerds to Microsoft execs to Apple engineers has used this. Unfortunately, when it comes to something subjective like video quality, such claims rarely pan out -- especially when it's an open-source project.
Also, the results for H.264 from that link are incorrect -- http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2009-May/069239.ht...

Please look at this comparison ( http://people.xiph.org/~greg/video/ytcompare/comparison.html ) rather than just going on here-say or old news. Theora 1.0 was not quite as good as H.264, but Theora 1.1 will be just as good it seems. Of course by your use of a term like "free-tards" you come off as just another troll, so maybe it's not even worth bothering trying to talk in terms of logic...
