On a similar note, I recently wrote to MIT OpenCourseWare about the same issue. In their response, they cited a survey that was conducted among MIT OCW users, which is available here: http://web.mit.edu/ocwcom/MITOCW/About/05_Eval_Full_060806_MITOCW.pdf Maybe some of you are interested in this, as it shows which formats are most popular these days (sadly, it's not Ogg Theora). They surveyed 500 people and these were their preferred formats (PDF page 53): Format Streaming Downloading RealPlayer 46.9% 39.2% Windows Media 22.9% 23.8% MPEG 10.7% 16.1% AVI 5.7% 10.4% Quicktime 8.9% 7.4% Other 4.9% 3.7% No surprise given 93.4% of visitors are Windows users and only 2.6% use a kernel called Linux (PDF page 26) It seems it'll be a long way until open formats are as widespread... :-( Kind Regards, M.F. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Don't pick lemons.
