Re: [Advocate Play Ogg] Web-based Theora video transcoding / hosting?

[Silvia Pfeiffer]

Both, Opera and Mozilla, are working towards supporting Theora
natively - in particular with the new <video> tag in development for
the new HTML5 standard. There is development happening within the
Xiph/Annodex community to create a library to be adopted into the
Mozilla codebase.


Cheers,
Silvia.
