[backstage] Mozilla to support open video natively

[Dogsbody]

Mozilla Firefox 3.1 will include native support for video in the browser 
and they have chosen Theora as the format of choice.


Short post: http://shaver.off.net/diary/2009/01/26/advancing-open-video/

Long description: http://www.0xdeadbeef.com/weblog/?p=977

So does that mean we can have iplayer in as a Theora stream now ;-)

I am really looking forward to this for a few projects I have been 
working on that still don't really have a true open source solution:

You'll be able to rickroll yourself and others free from the

It would be nice, but the Beeb claim Ogg is too expensive (at least
that's what they said when asked about offering Ogg Vorbis Audio
streams).

They could wrap Dirac in an Ogg container, that would be cheaper.

The Ogg Vorbis pilot was done years ago, when there was no non-IE
browser with more than 3% market share.

Adobe quietly added support for Speex in Flash 10. I have no doubt
both Adobe and Mozilla would support Dirac if asked to by the BBC.

I do however doubt Microsoft would bother, after all they are going on
six years with no H.264 support (I do not count the XBox). Of course,
Flash and QuickTime are there to overcome Windows' deficiencies.
