Theora is fine as well but Youtube doesn't support it as far as I know. The only unencumbered format supported by Youtube is VP8 and Vorbis in a WebM container. The GTA04 boot video can be downloaded in WebM format using UnPlug for example but it cannot be viewed online without downloading when using HTML5 on IceCat. The easiest way to make videos accessible to free software users is to upload them to Youtube in the WebM format.
