libTheora has been on linux for years. It is not the second coming of christ everyone makes it out to be. The major benefit it has over h.264 is that it will not have the licensing restrictions h.264 encoder has.

Also, it will be opened to html (as it has been under libtheora in linux) as to flash so it really is a mute point that flash will be getting it as well. I can tell you 3years ago watching redhat videos encoded on libtheora and it's nothing to write home about.

However, open formats are always welcome and that is what html5 is basically offering "non-commercial" formats that don't require you to purchase adobe products or use security nightmare products from adobe.

I'm sorry but maybe i don't understand video encoding / decoding enough but i know that as a game developer i have no problem on the mac/iphone accessing opengl? Is direct rendering controle of opengl not enough for adobe?

On a side note; awesome maybe flash will not suck on the mac. However, i have a question for all those "flash sucks on mac because of apple" people. How come flash is terrible on linux? In linux adobe can even access the kernel. Every library in linux is a public library. Why does flash suck, more so then flash on mac, on linux?

I would love to hear adobes excuse on this one. I'll pre-write there response for you.

"The level of the public api's are not up to par with what adobe needs"
(Human language) We need someone else to build up supporting libraries. we again are lazy shitty developers.

"All in all Windows 7 has so far been a more pleasant experience than upgrading a G4 macbook to MacOSx Leopard. "

How did you install snow leopard on a G4? The fact that snow leopard requires an intel based mac may be the reason you had such an issue.

Elena is back!!
