Google has announced its intention to drop, yes drop, support for the H.264 codec in future Chrome builds. Despite H.264's extended use for web videos, Google believes that with Chrome it needs to support open standards so it will focus on supporting WebM (VP8) and Theora video codecs.
H.264 support will be taken out later this year and until then Chrome fans have have a new dev build to play with. Chrome 10.0.634.0 is available here for Windows, Mac and Linux and it includes an updated V8 engine (3.0.6.1) as well as fixes for several bugs.
