For the usual patent reasons, OLPC only ships with Ogg Theora video support and Ogg Vorbis audio support*. If you make your videos available as plain Theora+Vorbis, they will be immediately viewable in the XO's browser. You will also instantly become the preferred video site for OLPC content, since YouTube, Google Video, and even olpc.tv rely on FLV, which OLPC cannot support. I would jump for joy. There might be some way to embed Theora in Flash in a way that Gnash can play, but this will never work in Adobe Flash. I strongly advise that, for OLPC, you avoid Flash altogether. - --Ben *: OLPC also supports the other Ogg audio codecs, FLAC and speex, as well as various basic PCM-type codecs. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHhDagUJT6e6HFtqQRAnDJAJ0cYGkaEfMJiHijnTm8MEyKerQrWwCfVNrh LoM4URqVwtCyl76tclgYpcA= =R9ff -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
