YouTube for Apple TV uses H.264, not Flash

YouTube for Apple TV uses H.264, not Flash
The reason for the delay is that Youtube will be encoding all of their videos into a "H.264 streaming-efficient compression format" specifically for the Apple TV. All of Youtube's videos are currently encoded in Flash Video (FLV) format.... Interesting coincidence: both the iPod and iPhone can play H.264 encoded video, but not flash.
