ISSUE-6: Pros and cons of keeping video and audio in the scope of the HTML working group.
This issue has been closed. Video and audio are part of HTML5.
ISSUE-7: codec support and the <video> element
This issue has been closed due to lack of change proposal, so we still don't have a baseline video codec for HTML5. Dan mentioned Ogg/Theora, Dirac, H.264, and VC-1 back in 2007. With the recent announcement from the MS IE team to support H.264, we're down to two. Dirac didn't come up as a strong candidate so far. Well, at least, that's the status for the moment. Several individuals are wondering if the Google I/O conference this week will reveal some intent from Google regarding the VP8 codec.
We, at W3C, believe that having a video codec which is compatible with our Royalty-Free policy would be a great step forward, but we remain skeptical about the likelihood of such a thing happening. In the meantime, the HTML5 specification provides a nice fallback mechanism.
So, if there is new information on this subject, we could reopen ISSUE 7.

Ça fait du bien d'être surpris dans le bon sens.
