The current standard for publishing media on the Web, in particular consumer media, is Adobe Flash. This is the case not because of the codecs inside Adobe Flash but because sites such as YouTube enable consumers to publish media without having to worry about license fees and patents, as well as technical issues. The enabler here is the embed tag.
And sites such as YouTube build on Adove Flash because it's the only currently viable cross-platform media technology that runs in most browsers. :-(
