Actually, one more movie:

It's a Quicktime movie with the On2 VP3 codec.
So kind of pre-Theora. :)

Hello,
An old theme just came up on the Wikipedia mailing list again :
Wikipedia strongly
encourages[1] using theora encoding, strongly enough that I don't think we
currently host any other video encodings...[2] however, most users know
how to make and edit and play mpegs, and find theora hard to work with.

Perhaps the theora-dev list can help us overcome our technical problems so
that we have a reasonable choice in setting policy...
