(fwiw H.264 isn't a codec either... it's a compression format which
can be generated by various codecs)
I think I'm scarred from Quicktime files because they often were
encoded with codecs like Sorensen which produced proprietary formats.
What does IE or firefox < 3.5 really do if you just link to an mpeg
file? Doesn't it run whatever app is set to handle that format? Why is
a flash plugin based page better than that? I have a feeling I'm just
being iconoclastic for the sake of it here.
In reality I would be pretty happy with any page that had a link at
the bottom to download an mpeg format file with H.264 data in it that
mplayer can play.
