I don't know if anyone would volunteer to do the work or how RMS would feel about the idea but: Perhaps a sweet goal would be to put together a vid with a few seconds of some stock footage of RMS talking about key points, some title screens or captions linking to ogg formats and other FSF-related video, and (if possible) use free software tools to prepare a video that "youtube" can handle (which would be a flash/gnash vid). Most people who view it via youtube will be using non-free software and the problematic flash format but it would still be a bit subversive in that the links would still lead *some* to explore GNU and ogg and, such a posting would head off much of the impulse of people who don't care about software freedom per se to put it on youtube. -t James Cloos wrote: >>>>>> "David" == David Kastrup writes: >>>>>> > > David> One problem that I see with Ogg Theora that it is intended, as > David> far as I know, for real-life movies.
