That's true. > > It would be good to have those videos available in much smaller files, > presumably in highly compressed and open(!) OGG Theora encoded format ( > http://www.theora.org/ ).

I would have also preferred to use OGG/Theodora, but we have decided against it, because it will not play on many Windows PCs, because they do not have the codecs present. I also did a lot of testing in minimizing the video size. I would doubt, that 20MB files are convenient to watch. I might be wrong, because all I know about video encoding I have learned in the past six or seven weeks. If you can give me a hint, how to encode a video DVD best to a 20MB OGG video, I'll give it a try at the weekend. > > There are many regions in the world where to transfer gigabytes of data > is not yet affordable.
