Wow. Ok. There appears to be some misunderstandings in this thread...There isn't a Flash video codec. All Flash provides is a wrapper for third party video codecs. The problem is, the most commonly used codecs are processor intensive.
No, that isn't the problem. The problem is Flash itself. If I download a YouTube video (in H.264 format) and play it with QuickTime player, it plays perfectly. Yet, it won't play at all in Flash on the web page.
Flash is garbage.
BTW, this test is on a G4/400!
CSS & HTML 5 only partially replace what Flash offers.
What's missing?
