The five available videos have been re-encoded to webm (mp4 is a
non-free format) and released on Wikimedia Commons.[1] Some are
already in use on the German Wikipedia.[2]
If ZDF copied their CC-BY videos to YouTube, there are several tools
available that can assist mass uploading and encoding from YouTube.
There is a convenient system for adding multiple language text
captions to videos on Commons, perhaps a volunteer might want to make
these more accessible this way?[3]
