ogg

We're just getting started with html5 video, and cannot seem to get .ogg files to play in Firefox, any tips? Here is the source we are using:

<video width="640" height="360" poster="http://video.thewebreel.com/episode_001/episode_001.jpg" controls autoplay autobuffer>
  <source src="http://video.thewebreel.com/episode_001/episode_001.ogg" type="video/ogg" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"'/>
  <source src="http://video.thewebreel.com/episode_001/episode_001.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
</video>

The live example can be seen here:

However we are totally baffled, everything seems exactly right.
