Theora Codec Ported to Java

Posted by michael on from the netflicks dept.

fons writes "These guys have ported the Theora codec to Java. This means that ANY Java-capable browser can now be used to watch video streams on the net (clients don't have to download a player!). You can watch a demo showing some boring guys sitting in the office. At least the music is ok :) On their site you can find a link to an interesting interview with the boss, and it looks like more cool stuff is coming soon."

    Has anyone tried to do this with QuickTime?

    It seems to crash Firefox every time I try to play this. Firefox 0.9.3, Debian Sarge (testing). about:plugins shows Java(TM) Plug-in 1.4.2_04-b05 (from Sun).

    It's really frustrating that Java is so touchy on Linux, and so poorly supported on Debian. I would like to see this demo! I know this is OT, but does anybody have any hints on how I might make Firefox play this without crashing?
