We are currently re-encoding all of our videos, and I'm considering only h.264.

If any flash player simply takes the URL of the video and issues the play
command then h.264 will play on all players.
It is only a issue that some players will handle flv and h.264 differently.
The player will play both videos, but some webmasters will have a player that
will not seek forward on the h.264 because of the action script commands they
use. Of course that same player does not do it for flv either.
So no loss to use h.264 it seems.
With most people using the JW player or similar, it would seem to be a very small
number of sites that cannot jump foward on a h.264.
But even if a player cannot jump forward, the video will still play.
