And I don't use Firefox, so my point is still valid. Please don't inform me of what you think I know or do not know, it is impolite. For your future reference, Robert, the browsers I am familiar with and was referring to in my statement about image decoders are WebKit- based browsers, OmniWeb 4.5 (historically), Camino and iCab 3. I avoid FireFox and Opera due to their non-native interfaces and form controls. Given your statement I may be incorrect about Camino though. > We use official Ogg Theora libraries. > No-one's suggesting reimplementing codecs.

I thought we were talking about the problem of adding non-free codecs (namely WMV and MPEG4) to free software, (possibly also involving reverse-engineering the codec). - Nicholas. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
