I don't understand why Nokia and other people would "ban" and "block" the adoption of video on internet. Is a bad idea. It don't make sense.. but I can live with it (Note to self: boycot nokia products).
Anyway here is the important bits: OGG is the way to go for audio, and OGV is the way to go for video. Mostly because... open source tools will support that formats. Thats how stuff like PNG extend, because is supported by your tools.

Upcoming versions of Firefox and Opera will play natively Ogg/Theora videos with the new HTML5 element <video src="file.ogv"></video>
What about Internet Explorer? Will MS ever honor this HTML tag and this video codec without plugins?
