I am wondering how much Google pays for codec license for Youtube/Google-video.
Zero. Internet broadcast is free until at least 2016. They might pay a per-encoder fee on the server-side, but this is likely negligible (20 cents each).
Now, the fees they pay for Chrome may be significant, though we don't know if they negotiated a better deal than the publicly available license. If I recall correctly, the license cap is around $4m/year for H.264.
Google ought to be paying for H.264 encoder licenses for YouTube, although maybe they don't have to pay anything if they have fewer than 10,000 encoding machines. Certainly it's far less than $100M.
