I'll continue trying successive builds as they're posted... maybe 490 doesn't have that commit yet? Maybe not. I suggest poke around crbug.com and also keep an eye on the release blog. http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/

I've tried doctoring the ebuild to use the system-provided ffmpeg, which does not fix h264 video and causes crashes on webm videos: probably why we went back to the bundled ffmpeg. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a straightforward work-around beyond going back to 6.0.472.14ish? Thanks, -Andy Using system-ffmpeg is commented as TODO in the ebuild refering to [1]. There is also bug report[2] related to this. Seems like it maybe fixed in a never branch than 472. [1] http://crbug.com/50678 [2] http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=329641

That doesn't entirely answer my question, though... shouldn't chromium's bundled ffmpeg have h264 support? Google's youtube.com/html5 page suggests that Chrome (and thus chromium?) supports h264. Is this a licensing issue going to the open source build that I've not heard of yet? Thanks again, -Andy

Yes bundled ffmpeg should have h264 support but I think it as broken with a patch for ubuntu. Did you read the bug report on crbug? It is reported for 479 and marked as *fixed* in the trunk as of Aug 9th. I didnt read the release note of it but 490 was released on 13th and is in portage since then. So..you can either unmask it and give it a try or wait for the next release and keep an eye on the release notes.
