Mozilla defends Firefox's HTML5 support for only Ogg Theora video
,----[ Quote ]
| But Firefox 3.6 supports only the Ogg Theora
| video codec and, currently, no other codecs.
| Mozilla had pushed for the Ogg codec to be
| the default for the <video> element, but
| this was not supported by the HTML5 working
| group who decided to leave the codec
| unspecified in the developing standard. This
| means that Firefox is unable to play the
| YouTube and Vimeo HTML5 videos.

Mozilla buries heels on un-YouTube open video
,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla vice president of engineering Mike
| Shaver has reiterated that the open source
| outfit has no intention of rolling the H.264
| video codec into its Firefox browser, even
| though the likes of YouTube and Vimeo are
| using the patented codec with early versions
| of their plug-in-free HTML5 video players.
|
| [...]
|
| Google is working to purchase On2
| Technologies, and it looks like the Mountain
| View giant is interested in open sourcing
| the outfit's video codecs to provide a
| license-free option offering performance
| above and beyond Ogg.

Mozilla takes on YouTube video choice
,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla would have to pay $5 million to
| license the H.264 codec from MPEG-LA, the
| industry group that oversees the technology,
| said Mike Shaver, Mozilla's vice president
| of engineering in a blog post, and that
| doing so wouldn't grant rights of those such
| as Linux operating system companies who
| build products employing Mozilla's browser.

| People are voting for Google to offer
| HTML5/Ogg video support on YouTube, in
| Google's own product ideas voting space.
|
| This piece of Ogg activism is getting some
| traffic on identi.ca and Twitter right now.
| If you haven't already, you should jump in.
|
| YouTube is, obviously, the largest source of
| videos in the world by far, so keeping
| pressure on Google to support web standards
| and free formats (over proprietary formats
| like Flash) is really important.
