In other words you find it "important *not* because it is related to the 
"well known free and open source" codec OGG/Theora, but instead because 
it is related to the "common" codec h264?

Thanks for clarifying.

The video team, I believe, use gear which output DV format video, so 
should not be affected by this bug.  More info here:
