Just an FYI.

A new <video> element has already been defined in HTML5...

And like it is specified that browsers support JPG's, PNG's, and GIF's
with the <img> element, we have Ogg Theora for the <video> element
(because of patent reasons).

For a better description of why Ogg Theora (and not H.264) read this...
