And the more of them can watch it, the best for us. That temptation is why I posted. We must not set aside important long-term issues for something less important. To be totally honnest, I have no doubt that if we release such a video in ogg theora, it will end up in flash on youtube the first day. That is a big problem, and I have been thinking about how to take action on the issue. I'm thinking about making a short video about this issue to put at the front of all videos we release.
