This past weekend, at the SXSW conference, a new initiative was launched to "get video on Wikipedia", http://videoonwikipedia.org/
That sounds like a great idea.
(I wasn't there, but I was told.)
But among the first videos to be uploaded since the announcement are two that show some construction equipment and both break my browser every time I try to watch them. How can this be possible with a fully updated Mozilla Firefox 3.5.8 on Ubuntu Linux?
I suppose something went wrong in the OGG encoding, but still, browsers should not be fooled by this, and/or Wikimedia Commons needs to make sure videos are correctly encoded so they can be safely watched.
I have asked that these two broken videos be removed, http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:6hpPowerTrowel.ogv http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:13hpBoren.ogv
Does not "break" my browser here. What do you mean with breaks your browser?
