Hi, My name is Sebastien and I'm a web developer at Dailymotion, a major European video sharing web site. I had the chance a couple of weeks ago to discover the XO laptop and to play with it. I was impressed with what the machine can do, and what the project represents. Unfortunately, when I tried to see Dailymotion's website http://www.dailymotion.com, the videos didn't work. We would like to solve this problem. At first we want to make a version of our web site compatible with the XO laptop. But we might be more interested later in being involved in the OLPC project through, for example, a dedicated activity, helping the community to share and spread videos for different purposes (educational, creative, etc.). However to achieve the first step, I wanted to know: what is the best way for us to display the videos in the browser with no extra configuration for the user? I read this page http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Video and this one too http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Ask_OLPC_a_Question_about_Software#Include_Flash_Player.3F < http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Ask_OLPC_a_Question_about_Software#Include_Flash_Player.3F > but I want to be sure to be optimized with all the parameters of the laptop (video performance, cpu, power management, etc.). We encode our videos in flv, mp4, 3gp, etc. Also, to test if the videos are displayed the right way, it would be great if we could have a laptop. Is it still possible, in our case, to get one through the G1G1 program, exceptionally? Ortherwise, what would be another way? I tried the VMWare image of the OS but I'm not sure that it's a good way to test the real performance when we watch a video on the laptop.
