It seems Opus is going full speed ahead with both Mozilla and Chrome
already supporting it in beta. Any plans for that?

Something tells me that won't be feasible for
video. :)
We've no idea if your system supports OGG videos, so here's an .iso
with a video DVD inside.
Hehehe :)
On a more serious note -- over on the Mobile apps team we're currently
working on Android and iOS uploader apps for Commons. Currently we only
support images, but it would be *awesome* to support videos and audio.
There's been some preliminary work on transcoding audio to Ogg Vorbis on
Android, which we could probably rig up on iOS as well, but for video it's
probably not feasible to do WebM encoding in software on a relatively slow
ARM processor.
Native support for ingesting MP4 and AAC would simplify audio and
especially video upload as well. Even if this happens separately from
playback, it would be very valuable.
