This letter is the result of Nokia and Apple recent activity in order to change the default audio/video codecs from Ogg/Theora+Vorbis [1],[2] to H.264/AAC [3],[4] in the future HTML5 standard.

Nokia outlined its position in the open letter [5], mentioning the use of proprietary technologies in the Ogg format and the lack of ability to support the copyright protection (DRM). But H.264 and AAC are copyrighted and require payments for the use in spite of Ogg / Theora + Vorbis codecs which require no usage payments and have patent which will provide protection from companies who want to "sell air". Quality of the compression by Ogg/Theora Vorbis is at the same level as of H.264/AAC and in some cases is even better.

By this petition we ask you to choose Ogg/Theora as default multimedia codecs in HTML.

завтра публикую официально, проверьте плиз на орфографию, и всем понятен текст ( имею ввиду англоговорящих )?

Какой-то ужас. Даже до бета-версии не дотягивает.

- <p>User agents should support Ogg Theora video and Ogg Vorbis audio,

- <!– (it’s not a MUST because some vendors may have legal reasons
- why they can’t or won’t support it, and there’s no point making them
- non-conforming when they have no choice in the matter) –>
+ <p class=”big-issue”>It would be helpful for interoperability if all
+ browsers could support the same codecs. However, there are no known
+ codecs that satisfy all the current players: we need a codec that is
+ known to not require per-unit or per-distributor licensing, that is
+ compatible with the open source development model, that is of
+ sufficient quality as to be usable, and that is not an additional
+ submarine patent risk for large companies. This is an ongoing issue
+ and this section will be updated once more information is
+ available.</p>

Вот как изменили стандарт после Nokia, помоему формулировка лучше, о H.264/AAC ни слова.
