YouTube goes H.264, Thanks to Apple
Apple, which recently added a YouTube channel to its Apple
TV hardware, might have prompted YouTube to spruce up its
video formats, and start using the H.264. YouTube has been
using Flash encoder so far, but Flash cannot be used on the
Apple TV platform. It is unlikely that YouTube is going to
get rid of Flash on its site, but seems like that H.264 is
the way to go for them, if they want to distribute video to
non-web platforms.
According to a report in iLounge, Apple Vice President of
Worldwide Mac Hardware Marketing David Moody said that right
now there are a few thousand videos available for AppleTV
but soon the complete YouTube library will be ready for the
platform, once the videos are encoded in the H.264 format.
