I agree.
It's a disappointment that we can't play back "YouTube" FLV videos
without a proprietary codec, so far. But thousands or millions of
uses have those codecs already installed, and we should cut a release
that works for them. This won't solve the Linux distributions'
problem (they can't, won't, or don't want to embed those licensed
and/or patented codecs in their distros). One step at a time.
