Before contacting us, it would be useful to check if you can access video on
other sites, particularly sites like YouTube and Google Video, which use
similar video technology to australianscreen. If you also can?t access the
clips on these sites, the problem is almost certainly with your computer or the
network you are on ? so we really can?t help you. However, if you can watch
video on other sites, but not on australianscreen, we?d like to know ? perhaps
there is something we can do to fix the problem.

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:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264#Patent_licensing>
But ofcourse providing online free access to the content is a great
leap forward...<http://australianscreen.com.au/about/terms/>
