Comment on VP8 and H.264 to both become mandatory for WebRTCComments−ck211yThe problem is the minimum level for WebRTC is so low, it makes H.264 useless for regular video decoding (like what you'd find on youtube).So hopefully browsers implement more than the minimum.−gcp11yIt would be perfectly possible for a browser to support H264 high profile in WebRTC and refuse to decode it in a <video> tag, for example due to licensing restrictions, so what you're saying is irrelevant.Remember WebRTC also covers encoders.

The problem is the minimum level for WebRTC is so low, it makes H.264 useless for regular video decoding (like what you'd find on youtube).
So hopefully browsers implement more than the minimum.
It would be perfectly possible for a browser to support H264 high profile in WebRTC and refuse to decode it in a <video> tag, for example due to licensing restrictions, so what you're saying is irrelevant.
