Adam, its Roger. I use a 7D and usually copy the EOS files to whatever machine I am using. I am able to import them into Final Cut Pro and Premiere on the Mac and Edius (Grass Valley) on the PC . I import them no problem, but have to render them one way or another to play back realtime smooth.

Mozilla reckon that Firefox handles 30% of worldwide web access. And you can bet it's an even higher percentage of people who watch online video. Even after IE9 with HTML5 becomes widely used in a few years, that 30% lack of support for h.264 (or more by then) will be a big issue for any
