Opera Software today released a new build of Opera 9.50 (Windows only for the moment, video support is being ported to other OS) which includes support for the SVG Tiny 1.2 video element. The Ogg Theora video format is supported (as used, for example, by Wikipedia, or Dell).

An article at Opera Labs describes this new build and includes links to three SVG demos which, interestingly, combine SVGT 1.2 video with SVGF 1.1 features like filters, masks, and clipping:

• video plus a clipping region
• video plus use, mask, gradient
• video plus filter effects

(you will need an SVGT 1.2-enabled browser or viewer, naturally. So download Opera first).

And remember to view source because, with SVG, you can do that and see how it works...
