Could you replace the codec section with at least an informative note<br>
to this effect? Something like,<br>
<br>
"As of 2009, there is no single efficient codec which works on all<br>
modern browsers. Content producers are encouraged to supply the video<br>
in both Theora and H.264 formats, as per the following example"<br>
<br>
(If there is an older royalty-free format that is universally<br>
supported, then please mention that as well, as it will still be<br>
sufficient for some types of videos, such as crude animations.)</blockquote><div><br></div><div>The browser vendors were not able to implement the same codec (because of patent's and copyrights), so no codec was able to be chosen.
