YouTube will soon be encoding videos in the H.264 streaming-efficient compression format preferred by Apple TV, and that all new videos submitted to YouTube as of the mid-June launch of the AppleTV update will be playable by the device. From then until fall, YouTube will be encoding its entire back-catalog in H.264 format, adding videos in chunks until everything is accessible to Apple TV users.Yep, this is bigger than the news that Apple TV gets YouTube videos, and is a real boost to H.264 in the mobile space (wait until the iPhone and the iPod get access too). Is there a bigger Flash video site than YouTube? Soon I might not care that I can't buy movies from iTunes in the UK.
