I'm concerned that the videos are mp4 videos. This format is not an open 
format, and it seems to me that to have videos using a patent encumbered 
proprietary format on the website promoting GNU Emacs is contrary to the 
goals and philosophy of free software. In my view, the only two 
acceptable video formats for use on a web page are Theora (ogg) and 
WebM. While WebM is the less desirable option of the two because of 
questions surrounding its openess and licensing, it was developed for 
the web, it does work in many browsers, and it probably works on Android 
since it is Google's baby. Fewer devices and browsers support Theora 
which is a real shame.
