According to this you support wmv, avi, mp3… but no Ogg theora / Ogg vorbis? Why not? [http://community.cartalk.com/vanilla/uploadhelp](http://community.cartalk.com/vanilla/uploadhelp) Ogg vorbis is supported natively by most every browser on the planet that’s not IE or Safari, and I’m curious why you support wmv, for example, but no Ogg? ---

I’m not afraid to admit that I don’t know what the heck this is but I kinda recognize avi and mp3. I’d love to be educated on it though. ---

I’ve been involved with computers for over 30 years and I’ve seen untold thousands of digital multimedia files and ogg is not one of them. It’s probably like a matroska video file. No one likes or uses it very much. Ogg originated with [xiph.org](http://xiph.org) and has been fighting with Microsoft for over a decade to get a foothold in the computer market. It’s a very small fish in a very large ocean. I use Firefox on a regular basis and have never seen an ogg file and probably never will. ---

Good morning. I passed on your question to find out whether there’s any particular reason why not, though I, like @missileman, don’t run across ogg files much. I hope you’re able to find another format you’re able to work with in the meantime.
