Google Video adds Mac support

Well, kind of. Google Video no longer requires users to download a separate player, so videos can be viewed right in a browser. The size of the video window is dependent on the size of your browser window. I just watched some of Everybody Hates Chris without a problem.

No, it's not specifically Mac support so much as it is general web support, but at least we can use it now. Baby steps, Google. Baby steps.

Giant leap indeed! As with many things Google, it just worked like a charm. And it started playing so flippin' fast. The future of TV will be search.

Hopefully h.264 becomes the dominating video format. Just putting a viewable FLV online is a bitch compared to just throwing up a .mov because you have to wrap it in it's own player. I barely see any quality difference between a sorenson 3 file and the new FLV codec.

Baby step? More like giant leap forward. They're converting everything to flash video, which will absolutely be the dominating video format on the web within the next year.
