:The idea is to avoid the current mess we're in regarding video on the Web. Beside Flash, you have Windows Media files, Quicktime files, Realvideo... Each requiring its own plugin/player, most of them from a specific vendor, and sometimes not easily available across OS. Ogg are the only open-source formats for multimedia files, and therefore suitable for implementation on every OS without vendor lock-in. But of course, Apple doesn't want people to move away from their proprietary Quicktime player which is currently installed on a majority of computer. Even if Quicktime is probably better than Theora in term of image quality, if it wasn't needed anymore for most video, their installed base would drop (remember, they tried to push Safari on Windows by including it by default in the Quicktime updater).

:: PNG is a free (libre) media format, but only because the big boys couldn't ignore it anymore.
Nice to see the big boys having to adapt themselves instead of the other way around. There could be others that are free (libre) but I know that png is anyway. --[[User:Thelennonorth|Thelennonorth]] ([[User talk:Thelennonorth|talk]]) 16:11, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
