I'm gonna take a chance and post here because this has a lot to do with OS X and the underlying QuickTime technology. I didn't feel it was appropriate for Digital Video and Audio forum nor the Lounge. Mods: you may move this if you really believe it doesn't belong here.

Ok...so I'm posting this because I'm finding it quite hard to find H.264 content on the internet (Apple seems uninterested in providing more AVC-encoded movie trailers and links to AVC content.)

A quick Google search revealed a few fun links:

A musician yakin' away and composing songs: http://www.henningpauly.com/
Lion King clips: http://www.lionking.org/movies/
'Mal's Song' a music video (Serenity movie): http://fireflymovie.com/wp/?p=60
Shape of Days showing the awesomeness of H.264/AVC: http://www.shapeofdays.com/2005/05/more_h264_demon.html

Anyone got other links they'd like to share? Lets keep the H.264 content flowing.

Very cool. I actually haven't seen H.264 in action other than on the webcast where Jobs played House of Daggers for the audience. Loving the resolution, but the filesizes are kind of large for people with slower connections.

H.264 files are a lot smaller than MPEG4 if you compress them down.
It really does excel at squishing small files, but you wouldn't know because we only get exited about the big ones.
