This is also why we chose the development path for vSocial that we did. I personally can't wait until Flash 8 is a bit more ubiquitous, because the On2 codec (as HORRIBLY slow as it is to encode) is a huge improvement over the existing codec. This is also why we keep the original format for feeds as well as offer a transcoded M4V (which I just confirmed works as intended.. posting later about it) feed for iTunes. Too many codecs for "average" folks to have to handle. Heck, I barely like having to keep up with all of them. :)
