<![CDATA[Embedded videos - is this normal?]]>Hi all,

I recently made the switch from Chrome to Opera pleasantly surprised with the speed and how lightly it runs. My only annoyance is with embedded video, instead of it showing a preview screenshot of the video with the play button (ala Chrome) I get a grey box with "Click to run Adobe Flash Player" I wondered is this normal in Opera and how do I change it if possible?

Cheers

Opera 24, which is in beta stage atm, started to have support for h264.

Now I see it's all flash.
Is it planned for the upcoming versions? Because speeding up YouTube videos is a feature I use and need a lot, and it's not possible in flash.
