However, there's currently a minor technical problem, which is that Java's security model only allows an applet to open URLs from the same domain the applet is hosted on, unless the applet is signed. We've self-signed it, but this still requires the user to manually authorize the connection. Supposedly one can get around this by getting the applet signed with an appropriate certificate (e.g., one already trusted by the browser), but we've been unable to come up with a way to test that this actually works in a reasonable set of JVMs (e.g., Microsoft's) without sinking the $400 or whatever it costs to buy the certificate up front (if someone out there has ideas on this subject, please let us know). > So thank you. The capabilities of theora really blow me away. I wish I You're welcome. It's nice to see everyone's hard work put to good use.
