Cortado is a java applet that "simply works" (apart from a few bugs :) and provides Ogg Theora support to Web Browsers even now. There is no need to install third-party-software, apart from Java. For Flash video to work, you have to have the Flash plugin installed. For Cortado to work, you have to have Java installed. The install-base of Flash and Cortado is probably comparable. So, "client support needs to be close to Flash" can be fulfilled with a bit of effort. Regards, Silvia.
