"OGG file for Firefox 3.5, and one MP4 file for everything else (Flash / Safari / iPhone)." I think this illustrates the problem with FF's choice of codecs-- you could do this all with one encode!
Also, the iPhone's supported h.264 profile lacks major features that other platforms (ie Flash) support. Serving one encode downsampled to the iPhone's limited profile is serving to the lowest common denominator. Serving a smaller iPhone-only copy and a second copy with B-frames and more efficient encoding would not only be smaller but would look a lot better too!
Does anyone know if there's any plans to support <video> for other codecs?
