Nokia argued against it for patent worries. Probably worried that if it did get done, some patent troll would come out of the woodwork with some obscure patent and sue all OGG the distributors. Apple's biggest complaint was that hardware decoders for Theora were far and few between (despite there being specs for it). Their excuse was that H.264 has hardware implementations in current hardware and handhelds don't have the power to do the decoding in software. I'm not aware of any other large companies that lobbied W3C to have no baseline instead of OGG/Theora. As much as I dislike and distrust Apple, it isn't just them. :( However, I think that Firefox offering OGG/Theora everywhere will at least help push some of the more aware video vendors to offer OGG so they don't shove off one side of the Mac/Windows userbase with extra codec messes. I'm sure IE will just play by itself in the corner and Safari will play Apple's game no matter what happens. - --Ben > On Fri, Jun 5, 2009 at 5:57 AM, Jaroslav Reznik <jreznik@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> >> In Arora I can hear only audio...
