H.261 and MPEG-1 should also be looked into

Parent article: Firefox to support Theora video

It would also be useful if Firefox could look into supporting H.261 (an 1990 standard for video transmission) and MPEG-1 with Layer 2 Audio. Both do not have any one requesting royalties from any patents that I know of, and are old enough for many if not all of their patents to have expired. I put up what I know about MPEG-1 and H.261 patent status up at wikia and a kuro5hin article.
