Hi all,

It's far different from most video on Commons: it's Flash streaming video and it works in 99% of web browsers. (The VLC web browser plugin is supoosed to support Flash video too, though I've never tried it. Also I don't know if Flash video is based on patented codecs or not. But assuming that no such problems come up...) Perhaps we should put in a MediaWiki feature request:
MediaWiki should convert all our videos to low-rez Flash Video format for streaming previewing as soon as the .ogg original is uploaded. This way, more people will be able to view our videos, so we'll get more uploads.
Agree or disagree?
Cheers, Jason
