theora - May 2010 - FYI: tagesschau.de partly with Ogg Theora

The news site of Germany's main public television station ARD now has 
some short clips in Ogg Theora: http://www.tagesschau.de/tagesschau24/

These are the "news in 100 seconds" clips, which are also available in
mp4/h264. Curiosuly longer video-news are available as either flash or 
wmv?

Regards,
Hannes

this blog quotes a short statement of tagesschau

"Wir befinden uns zur Zeit noch in der Testphase, so gibt es bislang
noch keinen HTML5-Player f?r Ogg/Theora auf unserer Seite und mit der
Encoding-Performance sind wir auch noch nicht zufrieden. Mittelfristig
wollen wir jedoch das Ogg/Theora-Angebot ausweiten. "

very rough translation:

"We are currently in a test phase, so far there is no HTML5 player for
Ogg/Theora on our site and we are still not satisfied with the encoding
performance. However we want to extend our support for Ogg/Theora in
the future."
