Actually, I think they're doing their customers a service by forcing

sites to provide content that isn't in a proprietary format.

And you seem to be convinced by this brilliant argumentation.

That is the very reason, is it?

So then, why does Apple refuse to use the WebM open videos format and

stick to H.264 which is proprietary _and_ patented _and_ requiring fees?

You mean like *every one else in the entire video industry*

Is it proprietary and with fees or not?

That was the question.

Flash is proprietary, however do not require any fee, neither for

encoding nor for decoding.

KDT
You do realize that the most popular "Flash encoded video" is actually H.264 in a Flash container right?

Laszlo Lebrun
What does that change? You CAN , you must not use H.264 with Flash. Your vistors, having Flash enabled, will always be able to see your content, across all platforms.
