Using the default setting with ffmpeg2theora, videos encoded with this software do not work within the Cortado applet. The Theora-encoded videos play fine when downloaded locally, both on my system and other test cases. The version used of ffmpeg2theora was downloaded from the v2v website, compiled locally on a 64-bit linux desktop system. http://v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/ Have tried to upload several files so far, with the same results. These can be seen in the "Politics videos" category.
Hmm, videos that I encode in ffmpeg2theora work fine. WFM?
The problem is that the binary of ffmpeg2theora-0.23 on 64bit linux was by mistake using the upcoming thusnelda encoding libarary. Older versions of cortado are not able to playback files encoded with thusnelda. a recent version of cortado from http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/cortado/ will be able to play these files. i am also about to replace the ffmpeg2theora-0.23 binary for 64bit with a version using the mainline encoder. (waiting for the upload to be finished, so should be done tomorrow)
Question for Tim Starling: Would you rather update Cortado or keep Thusnelda out of the supported codecs? I would think the latter option is better, but I will wait on your response before re-encoding my 70-80 videos.
Tim, can we do a test with the updated Cortado, and if things are working nice let's consider a live update...
Short update. The 64-bit binary application ffmpeg2theora has been updated as of the beginning of Feb 2009. The application no longer encodes in Thusnelda. [ http://v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/ ]
Can I close this bug? Cortado has been /mostly/ spec complete for a while now.

the updated applet added in r57317, freed is looking at deploying it.
The new cortado was deployed a while back. I am no longer seeing the cortado theora 1.1 artifacts
