Extensions are irrelevant, mime type is everything. The example is served as text/html and would need to become some appropriate ogg mime type in order to work.

The link above was the html page with the video embedded. Direct link to the video is given below
http://blip.tv/file/get/Pravi-FreeSoftwareAndTheMatrixByAlexandreOliva772.ogm

The mime type for this video is OGM video (video/x-ogm+ogg)

Please add it to the known mime types for ogg theora video.

That's not listed here http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/MIME_Types_and_File_Extensions

Apparently, it is a different container format (a hack of the original ogg container).

I don't know how we can tackle this. I would love to see Mozilla support this container format, if only for backward compatibility, since many video editors already create videos in this format.
