Thank you for the information, i installed the app. But let me restate my question. More and more websites are including video clips in webm format. Today when I click on one of these video clips, I get an "error" message and the clip will not run. Clips in other formats run seamlessly when I click on them. After installing this app, I get the same error message. Is there something I need to do to associate the webm format (file extension) with a program to allow the clips to or do I need to wait for the next Apple update? Seams like Apple should support this format by default.

HTML5 is coming sooner or later, which will make multimedia content file types moot - HTML5 - Wikipedia


Browsers have already prepared for its complete adoption (Firefox, Chrome, etc.) in latest versions by disabling plug-ins like QuickTime and Flash at launch (if present).


Content creators and websites that deliver it will (one day) be required to author to the HTML5 standard or not have their content displayed in real time
