<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1203/mozillaboot2gecko-handson.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Mozilla research director Andreas Gal has proposed a rare change of heart that could see Boot2Gecko, and possibly Firefox, adopt H.264 playback.

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1108/skype-iphone.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Google had an unusual celebration Wednesday as it claimed that Skype 5.5 was now using the video format behind WebM, VP8.  WebM Product Manager John Luther said that that any video chat between two or more users on 5.5 will switch over to VP8 for the stream.  The format had been chosen in part because of its low lag in live situations and ability to gracefully handle lost data....]]></description>

The company plans to integrate the WebRTC protocol first in its open-source Chromium project before rolling it into the regular Chrome browser.
