I don't think h.264 is of concern *now*, AFAIK YouTube still uses h.263 as
default and we will start by using Archive.org/Dailymotion anyway. On top
of that, we will not upload h.264 to YouTube, will let them make the
conversion.

Well, not everybody works on the release... if someone has the time and
will to get the project running, then more power to them. We that may be
involved in the release, may join the party when we can.
