Who cares about the crappy proprietary FLVs? Sacrificing freedom (using encumbered codecs) for the sake of those is really counterproductive.

Feel free to download the Xvid ones and convert them if you want to watch them offline and care about the format.

Please upload the ogv files too, even if they don't convert properly.

Who gives a darn? We want the downloadable ogv, we couldn’t care less about the FLV crap.

I just watched the CMake/CTest/CPack talk and it was very interesting. The audience seemed a bit tired though. Perhaps it was too hot over there? ;) Thanks for the videos.
