Chromium will support only Theora and VP8, Chrome to follow. Same as Firefox 4.
(How close are we to allowing VP8 on WMF? I understand Greg Maxwell, as one of those actually working on making the VP8 code drop usable, had some qualms about the code at the time.)

Chromium has never supported H.264 (unless you hack the source code yourself). The change is that now Chrome also won't. Of course, we were never planning on distributing H.264 anyway, so this doesn't actually affect us, but it's still a good move for the open web.
