The H.264 codec is NOT required. VP8 is installed out of the box. If
KWebKitPart/QtWebKit is claiming H.264 is supported even when the codec is
not actually present (is that the issue? What does
https://www.youtube.com/html5 list as supported for you?), and then failing
to decode it, that's simply a bug in KWebKitPart/QtWebKit that needs to be
fixed. Replacing the browser is the wrong fix.
