But have you ever heard of &#8220;A video is worth a thousand pictures&#8221;? That&#8217;s right, soon we will be adding video (aka screencast) support to Firefox Support!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Adding screencasts will work just like adding images, and go through the same <a href=\"http:\/\/support.mozilla.com\/kb\/Approving+articles+and+edits\">review process<\/a> as all article edits.<\/li>\n<li>Articles will not be limited to one screencast. If an article has different sets of instructions, there will be a separate screencast for each set of instructions.<\/li>\n<li>We will support both Flash and the open video format called Ogg\/Theora, which the upcoming Firefox 3.5 will support natively (without the need of a plugin).
