The basic problem here is that WebCore can't figure out what MIME type the .ogv extension maps to, so it just uses "application/octet-stream". QTMovieWin does not claim to support that MIME type, so loading this video fails.
Eric Carlson
.ogv MIME type was added to the type registry in http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/43972, and the Windows Xiph QuickTime components have been updated to register MIME types with QuickTime correctly.
http://people.mozilla.com/%7Eprouget/videos/demo_worker.html works with the most recent Xiph QT component.
