I have this html5 code, with a MP4 for Chrome (working), an OGG for Firefox (failing) and the same ogg via a java applet for Internet Explorer (working):

<video width="848" height="480"  controls="controls" autoplay="true" >
            <source src="vernissage_cpal_2009.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
            <source src="vernissage_cpal_2009.ogv" type="video/ogg" />
            <applet code="com.fluendo.player.Cortado.class" archive="http://theora.org/cortado.jar" width="848" height="480">
                <param name="url" value="vernissage_cpal_2009.ogv" /> 
            </applet>
 </video>

Firefox display a gray box with a X inside it. The file "vernissage_cpal_2009.ogv" also plays well inside normal media player, like VLC.
