Choppy as hell in firefox 4.0.1, Linux. I'm beginning to wish google used ogg theora instead. Well maybe the performance improves over time.

@ladoga No issues under Chrome, but I only use Firefox when I absolutely need Noscript.

I'm using Linux Ubuntu 10.10 and Firefox 6.0.2 stable, This video does not play.

HTML5 vids play but not WebM vids. :shrugs:

The WebM interface works in Opera 11.01 on Vista. No flash interface. You need to join the YouTube HTML5 Beta. It only plays in 360p definition.

This runs in flash.
