This is great news! The analysts are right on this, I think, in attributing H.264's success to the success of iTunes, which has the QuickTime codec built in. But I'm delighted to see a major web publisher realizing the benefits of H.264 and actually making the break with Windows Media format to use it. If you don't believe me about how superior H.264 is over any previous compression codec, just pay a visit to Accuweather's video center and take a look at one of their video reports. Wow! It's Internet TV, at last!
