I'm thinking of defaulting everything in my content store to H.264, it seems to be on the fastrack to becoming a standard.

It's used by:
Blu-Ray
HD-DVD
HDTV Broadcast standard for many regions
DirecTV
Dish Network
iTunes
Apple TV, iPod, iPhone
Microsoft Zune
Xbox 360
PS3 and PSP
Most cell phones
Windows Media supported out of the box
ATI and nVidia have hardware decoding accelerators built in
and more....

I used to use MPEG1 as a codec that anyone would be happy getting their content in, but is it time to switch?

Would anyone be upset if H.264 was the only format offered when they bought content?
