The video in XO Speak: Speech Synthesis for One Laptop Per Child, http://www.olpcnews.com/software/applications/xo_speak_speech_synthesis.html
http://flash.revver.com/player/1.0/player.js?mediaId:761721;affiliateId:137131;backColor:#000000;frontColor:#ffffff;gradColor:#000000;width:480;height:392; showing a child using Speak, doesn't play in Gnash. How can we get that fixed? YouTube videos mostly play fine, so we know that there is no sound technical reason for the problem. For example, the Theora encoding is supported in Free/Open Source software. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theora "Theora is an open and royalty-free lossy video compression technology being developed by the Xiph.Org Foundation as part of their Ogg project. Based upon On2 Technologies' VP3 codec, Theora is targeted at competing with MPEG-4, WMV, and similar low-bitrate video compression schemes." I put in a complaint at revver.com, and I invite others to do so. http://www.revver.com/contact/ It makes no sense for videos about the XO not to play on the XO. The real reason for this problem is Adobe, which refuses to either create a Free Flash player, or to provide information to allow the community to build one. I invite you to complain to them, also. You can send a comment, post in a forum, submit a bug, or request a feature. http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/contact.html?ogn=EN_US-gn_contact See also http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=72&catid=616&threadid=1312647&enterthread=y#4759808 -- Edward Cherlin End Poverty at a Profit by teaching children business http://www.EarthTreasury.org/ "The best way to predict the future is to invent it."--Alan Kay _______________________________________________ Olpc-open mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-open
