Cortado is a streaming Java applet for Ogg formats (Vorbis, Theora), µ-law, MJPEG and Smoke (a custom MJPEG variant), released under the GPL. With Cortado a webpage can be set up to download the applet on the fly in the background, providing embedded support for Ogg based media in Java-enabled web browsers without the need to install further software. It is part of the Flumotion multimedia streaming package. Among others it is used on Wikimedia projects and blip.tv^[1].

Cortado was originally created by Wim Taymans building upon the earlier work of Jorbis, the Java decoder for Vorbis audio. Cortado is currently maintained in the WikiMedia SVN repository by MediaWiki software developer Tim Starling and is available here.
