Come on... If you're going to proclaim about open video, you > should at least be using it yourself. :) >Of course, we don't favor Flash for our own web purposes. However, for the contest, we're encouraging participation from all over the web, so we're using aggregator software called Miro Community. MC supports all video types, including OGG Theora files. Perhaps when the contest is over, we'll set up a hosting platform to convert and serve all the videos up using HTML5 and Theora. We would be happy to have many open format submissions. :) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
