Browser embedded videos will either require Flash, or MPEG-4 codecs.
Chrome
will have both of those, but not Firefox, nor Epiphany or Chrome.
The number of websites using free codecs is unfortunately very low.
But it's getting better. What's funny is that one of the first providers,
who moved from Flash are - advertisements... Theirs business stands on
ability to play the content everywhere :).
I'd like to add one thing from my experience from install fests. Recently,
we had an event for 1st grade students at local university - Linux/FreeBSD is
required for almost all projects (it's true, I studied there ;-). So we had
install fest, with guys from Fedora QA helping and to be honest - after it
I just recommend to use VM with Fedora in Windows. The main issue is - for
students, they usually can't afford pretty well supported Lenovos but all
that cheapest s*t you can buy. And it's extremely hard to support it, from
graphics drivers, cheap wifis, other non-compliant HW there. You usually
end up with noisy laptop, that overheats, battery drops to half, your wifi
does not work or sensitivity is very bad :(. We can do a lot about how
Fedora works and it's really getting better every single release, no need
to edit anything, just install it and do your job (*) but only if your HW
allows it...
(*) on my HW I'm able to install Fedora and set up everything the way I
need for my job in less than one hour
