I'd like to see ogg vorbis theora spread more. I
really
dislike binary only codecs. Ogg vorbis theora has really
shown us that it's a really cool codec during the LAC.
The problem in todays software world is not so much
closed
software against open source software but closed file formats
vs. open file formats IMHO.
Are there commonly-used media players in the windows/apple
world that support theora? I'd like to use open formats if I can, but
I'd also like for non-techheads to see my work. If possible, it'd be
nice to provide the theora video, and also a link to download the
codec, if it integrates with media players that people already have
on their computer. I think it'd be too much to ask people to
download a whole other media player, though.

Yeah, that's the problem. But there's no video format you'd
like to use supported by all operating systems out of the box
(except maybe MPEG2).
Theora can be played by the videolan client
(www.videolan.org), and it is available for Linux, Win and
Mac, but it urges the user to download and install a further
player.
