: Google Chrome and Theora I have problem with Google Chrome and Theora video. I have video that plays nice in Opera and Firefox. However, it doesn't play in Google browser and I don't know

@Pierce454

Get Miro Video Converter and use it to convert your videos to Theora, WebM or MP4s and they will work across all browsers. Furthermore, you may wish to read this article for a crash course on how to implement video correctly across all browsers.

UPDATE

Actually, I apologize, I just read the last part of your question about not wanting to support WebM, and quite frankly that is a stupid decision which will leave you with limited capabilities.

The bottom line is that Chrome may claim to support Theora, but it will be a band-aid at best. Google will move Chrome to support WebM primarily, and anything else will be band-aided. Microsoft and Mozilla are also moving to WebM, so don't expect to have a whole lot of future support if you choose only Theora.

You're "P.S." essentially has the same meaning as "I will only support IE6, in 2020."

I'm not trying to be bashful, but grow up. If you're going to support multiple browsers, then implement the technology each one of them supports.

HTML5 isn't a standard yet, these sort of problems will be existing for a long time till the final standards are decided on and published. I would stick with using flash video and if you can detect the correct browser that supports HTML5 try to render the specific way that browser currently supports it. You're going to have the same problem with IE and Safari who also have the same issue you're seeing.
