If you catch me on IRC ask me to show you where people were having us host exploit code uploaded as PDF files. :(
Anything we could impliment server side (ignoring all possible licensing issues) is going to be hit or miss, hopefully more hit than miss but "If you can play it in Windows Media this tool can upload it" should be pretty attractive.
Indeed! Or in VLC. Heck, we could use VideoLan for the job.
Yes, I think the commons instructions tell people to use VLC for transcoding. It would be nice if VLC were a little more streamlined for this task, as it stands today you have to go digging in a few dialogs and people get lost.
