Mozilla Firefox 3.1 (codenamed Shiretoko) will support Open Video Format, Ogg Theora.

Word came down from the Mozilla Summit that Mozilla Firefox 3.1 (codenamed Shiretoko) will support Open Video Format. Christopher Blizzard posted about Mozilla's commitment to include OGG video and audio support for the video element tag.

The Open Video format support for browser will add few kilobytes to the browser setup but will eliminate use of additional applications. Web developers can add the Ogg Theora compatible videos using traditional HTML tags (

Firefox users will derive maximum benefit as the built-in video support will end online video blues. With this development, it's expected that the need to download and install proprietary flash video conversion software will become redundant.

To get an early feel of Shiretoko's Alpha version, check out their developer page.
