There is another free alternative: the XviD codec. It's free software
(GPL). It's stable. Lots of people use it. It's included in popular
codec packs (like Nimo Codecs Pack or K-Lite Codecs Pack). And I'm quite
sure the DivX decoder can read XviD-encoded videos.

Doom9.org (the best site about video tools) rated XviD "best free video
codec" a few months ago. (http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/codecs-203-1.htm)

I've nothing against Theora. But why should we use it if there is
another, much more known and probably better alternative ?
