Dear Mr. Spinellis, Your film is of great interest, but some of us can't easily view Flash video, especially on the XO ;-)
Would you consider making your film available in the Ogg Theora format? It's easy to transcode from DV or MPEG with the ffmpeg2theora tool (http://v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/), for example (assuming 4:3 PAL and with Ogg container metadata): $ ./ffmpeg2theora finalcut.dv -x 352 -y 288 -v 2 -S 0 -K 128 -c 1 -H 32000 –artist 'Diomidis D. Spinellis (http://www.spinellis.gr)' –title 'The Information Train' -date 'February 17, 2009' –location 'Wizards of Science 2009' –organization '' –copyright '(c) 2009 Diomidis D.
