9 Cortado is an open-source cross-browser and cross-platform video
10 playback solution based upon Java technology. Leveraging the huge
11 installation base of Java it allows web-authors to deliver Ogg Theora
12 content without having to worry about the media playback setup
13 installed on customers' machines. This enables e.g. Wikipedia to
14 deliver Ogg Theora video content embedded into articles to millions of
15 users. Originally developed at Fluendo, Cortado's latest versions are
16 now maintained by Xiph.org. If you're interested in using free media
17 delivery technology, e.g. to avoid the costs adjunctive to non-free
18 technologies like H.264, and want to reach a big potential user base,
19 Cortado may be the solution you've been looking for.
