After parsing this lawyer's output, I'm never using H.264 again if I can avoid it, despite the criticisms of WebM (no real spec, dog-slow encoding.) More importantly I would like to see how much of my existing video work can be done without any use of 264---in particular I will be checking my hardware devices to see if I'm entrapped at the outset.
I can tell you one thing for sure, you'd be hard-pressed to find a Theora or WebM capturing equipment, if there is any at all. Most consumer grade cameras record to h264 or h262 and pro cameras generally work with proprietary uncompressed or losslessly compressed formats.
