some may be happy to note that in the FAQ w3c standards compliance is
mentioned, ie, safari and ff are listed as should work perfectly. lynx
even gets a mention
quicktime, miro and vlc are mentioned as possible media players
so there is a win for standards and open source.
Not quite...
What software do I need to view the video clips?
The clips embedded in the web pages require Adobe Flash Player version 7 or
better.....
The downloadable clips are provided at a higher quality,
and use a newer format called H.264 Mpeg 4.

While, there is a Free Flash Player available for Linux - I don't think it
is open source.
With regard to MPEG4 and H.264 see
If operating and/or shipping a product in a country or group of countries where
none of the patents covering H.264 apply, then using, for example, an LGPL
implementation of the codec is not a problem:

But ofcourse providing online free access to the content is a great leap
forward...<http://australianscreen.com.au/about/terms/>
