## From the page (probably an excerpt, not Jamie's words)

Sign up for the beta on this page, and boom, you get videos using H.264 and the HTML5 video tag instead of Flash. Working great for me. Note, though, that it only applies to videos on youtube.com itself — YouTube videos embedded in web pages on other sites still use Flash.
