Mozilla, Opera look to make video on the Web easier
,----[ Quote ]
| Firefox and Opera will support a new HTML tag specifically for embedding
| video in Web pages. As long as the browsers support a video's specific codec,
| or encoding method, the browsers will then be able to play the video without
| launching third-party enabling software, said Chris Double, a Mozilla
| engineer. Mozilla and Opera are also working to support the royalty-free
| video codec Ogg Theora.

| Ogg's development, such big-name backing has been a long time
| coming.
|
| ... Linux users most likely have Ogg support built in to their machines
| (but you guys already knew that).
