Ian Hickson should continue supporting Ogg Theora as the only free solution. It leaves a lot to be desired from his decision to drop the ball right now when firefox 3.5 just released, knowing that more than 100 million users support Theora.

Ian, you're on my watch list, I don't want to ever know you were bribed by greedy bastards or criminal monopolists.

It just takes a million dollars to buy a soul.
