Is OGG really necessary for HTML5 video full compatibility?

Viewed 1763

I'm preparing a webpage with a video. I'd like to make it compatible with a wide range of devices, so I inserted a HTML5 <video> tag with a Flash Player fall-back (FLV video file) for incompatible browsers (mostly Internet Explorer < 9).

For the HTML5 video I converted my video in MP4/H.264 and in WebM/VP8. According to Wikipedia, H.264 is used by:

  • Internet Explorer
  • Google Chrome
  • Safari (iOS+Desktop)
  • Android browser

While VP8 is compatible with:

  • Firefox
  • Opera
  • (again) Chrome and Android

It seems that everything is covered (talking about today's last versions of the browsers), with the Flash fall-back for older ones.

Can I skip the OGG version of the video, considering that MP4 + WebM seem to be enough?
