Yes and No. The difference between OGV & WebM vs H264 is that H264
requires external libraries for it to work. Especially on Linux or
FreeBSD (read the fine print... appropriate gstreamer plug-ins are
required).

On the other hand, OGV and WebM (I think) are fully baked into the
browser source code - just like JPG or GIF support. At least for Opera,
Chrome and Firefox.

Anything MPEG and H264 are patent nightmares and requires licensing. Do
some Google searching to find out more - there are tons of information,
especially for content producers (somebody making video files).
