I assume you are pointing to the "Downpreffed VLC because it crashes my browser all the damn time -- TS" comment. Still another problem with recommending an option is well when this happens: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Videoscreengrab_of_Morris_C8_towing.ogv As you can see following the recommended course of action results in a far from idea experience. Now to be fair [[File:Morris C8 towing.ogv]] is known to cause problems when played but it does work on the VLC plugin with firefox 3.0 at least on my system. As long as we don't explicitly recommend a player that isn't directly our problem. Once we do that claim becomes harder to make. -- geni _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
