Thanks for the info. That doesn't entirely answer my question, |
| 32 |
though... shouldn't chromium's bundled ffmpeg have h264 support? |
| 33 |
Google's youtube.com/html5 page suggests that Chrome (and thus |
| 34 |
chromium?) supports h264. Is this a licensing issue going to the open |
| 35 |
source build that I've not heard of yet? |
| 36 |

Thanks again, |
