Currently it sometimes advices you to download Firefox, but there are no advices for: 1: downloading XiphQT (for ogg/theora) or Perian (for WebM) on the Mac. 2: downloading the Google WebM plugin for IE 3: The IE xiph.org Theora plugin 4: upgrade from Old FF/Opera/Chrome to first version that supports the specific codec.
It should be noted that sometimes these other experiences are not so smooth. For example installing the chrome frame is a far better experience than installing the IE webm components ( that don't work so well atm ). I have not tested the Perian package, Although I hear you say it works reasonably well. Where should we link to? Upgrading browsers is an easy thing to recommend doing :) I think what we should do is say "install firefox" or 1-4 if you don't have WebM support.

The current player TimedMediaHandler, links to the playback documentation page instead then directly pointing to Firefox.
