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.
You can't use one portion of Flash to say it's all garbage. Most Flash isn't video, so citing a video example as why "Flash is garbage" isn't valid. It would be like saying you don't like Mail.app so OS X is garbage.
That said, please show me an example you've tested with. If they're both identically encoded H.264 content and they are the same content, they should be nearly identical in playback.
CSS & HTML 5 only partially replace what Flash offers.
What's missing?
I posted that above ^^
