--- Quote from: Lead Head on  4 May 2010, 05:33 ---Both ATI and nVidia have development kits to write "GPGPU" compatible code. Many modern codecs and video players support GPU acceleration. Really you can build a hardware accelerator for just about anything, you just need the code to do it. With huge formats like H.264, the manpower/want is there to write said code, not so much with Ogg Theora.

Its quite a piss off that Google/Youtube is bent on using H.264 for their HTML5 video players. I'm guessing this is a big part of MS's decision to support H.264. It doesn't appear that Firefox or any other open source browser will be shipping with H.264 codecs anytime soon.

We really dont know what google/youtube will do yet. They are currently using h264, dont think that cant change before they make html5 the default.
