Audio and Video support

Preface

CEF supports WebM & Ogg Theora video codecs. MPEG-4 & H.264 are proprietary codecs and are not included in Chromium builds, as there are licensing issues:

Codecs like MP3 and AAC are included in Google Chrome releases but not Chromium builds. This is because these formats are not open and require licensing. Distributing these codecs with your application without a licensing agreement may violate the law in certain countries. You should discuss with a lawyer if appropriate.
