The version of Chrome I'm using must have removed H264 support. Quicktime as a fallback is rather disappointing as Flash seems like it has a much higher install base and smaller disk space footprint.



See http://labs.divx.com/html5/ to see if your browser supports H264 demo. Both Chrome and IE9 do for me and I am still asked to install QuickTime.


In fact my chrome is working with MP4 video and this appears just to be Apple pushing quicktime on to Chrome users.


It could be a broken test for support, or UA sniffing or something. I'll file a bug against the site.
