[Bug 7457] New: Ogg theora needs to be used here as an open standard. Having different standards in different browsers will confuse the matter and it is the only standard to my knowledge that is not patent encumbered. This is seriously important to reinstate.

           Summary: Ogg theora needs to be used here as an open standard.
                    Having different standards in different browsers will
                    confuse the matter and it is the only standard to my
                    knowledge that is not patent encumbered. This is
                    seriously important to reinstate.

Ogg theora needs to be used here as an open standard. Having different
standards in different browsers will confuse the matter and it is the only
standard to my knowledge that is not patent encumbered. This is seriously
important to reinstate.
