Even though the direct link to the ogg video file plays in the browser the embedded video does not play. It should not require installation of additional plugins when the browser can play a video natively.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://blip.tv/file/2093960?filename=Pravi-FreeSoftwareAndTheMatrixByAlexandreOliva119.ogv#
2. Look for the embedded video
3.
Actual Results:
Displays 'click to download plugin' message, though the browser can play it natively.
Expected Results:
Play with native ogg player

The issue is that blip.tv is using an <embed> element for the video, which will only be handled by plugins.
What they can do instead is to use the <object> element which will play video in Firefox and in other browsers with the right plugins (see bug 487398 comment 9).
