Hello,

Cisco Systems provides a H.264 binary module for free with the name "OpenH264".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenH264

http://www.openh264.org

Mozilla Firefox had add this plugin in your web browser to support the H.264 videos inside HTML5.

Why Opera doesn't integrate that free binary module?

I'm not sure if they're using that Cisco binary, but H.264 support is coming... There's already an experiment for it in the latest beta versions (obs: last time I tested it it crashed).

Yes, that's big news for me.

So i can still stay with the opera browser and must not change to firefox or google chrome. Thanks good news.

P.S. The framework "GStreamer" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GStreamer supports also H.264 and is under the LGPL licence.

Is the latest beta version "opera next" with the revision number 23.xxx (on Windows 7)

It probably has the opera://flags/#proprietary-media-types-playback experiment but it may crash. I'd go with "Opera Developer" (24+) which has more up to date code to test it.

Edit: it's working here in Win8.1.1!

Yes, it works great for me with a HTML5 Video (H.264 + AAC sound).

I testet with "Opera Developer 24.xxx" under Windows 7 64bit.

Great, i hope this H.264 support will be integrated in the stable Version as soon as possible.

Ups, sorry, it was a webm video (VP8) not a H.264

When i activate this setting (opera://flags/#proprietary-media-types-playback) then it does work

Wow, perfect. H.264 MP4 via HTML5 in Opera Developer 24.xxx. Nice.

"opera://flags/#proprietary-media-types-playback" is at this time not available for Linux, but I hope, this feature is coming very soon for Linux.
