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.

You were making a big deal about fees, Laszlo...

Laszlo Lebrun
Exactly. Flash is free tu use by everybody, No fees whatsoever.

Not if it's H.264 in a Flash wrapper, it isn't. And that's what much Flash video is these days.

Maybe most people don't care about patented technology with potential fees... Well for 90% of the existing crap, delivering a shaky youtube camcorder .mov clip isn't an issue for many. They paid the fee already with the camcorder or their mobile.

Whenever however H.264 will have got no alternative any more, then the patent holders will begin to hunt the big game... -- One computer and three operating systems, not the other way round. One wife and many hotels, not the other way round ! ;-)
