Opera does support HTML5 video. It's just that YouTube decided to use a closed, proprietary, evil format instead of an open format. It isn't Opera's fault that YouTube chose a video codec you would have to pay for to use.

Because now its not very usable for watching videos..


Yes it is. Regular YouTube works fine.

I'm not seeing a lot of documentation anywhere. Which format(s) does YouTube support, and, which format(s) does Opera 10.50 support?

Youtube supports the Mpeg4 AVC/H.264 format.
Opera should have Vorbis and Theora aka .ogg(.oga+.ogv) So you have a .ogg container (which contains Vorbis audio (.oga) and Theora Video (.ogv) [which = .ogg])

EDIT: Found You the Link detailing this

Operas Videoplayer does not play H.264 encoded videos.
That's because implementers/users of H.264-codecs have to pay of licence fees.
