It has to be said though that there doesn't seem to be a lot of choice for free codecs for video formats around. Ogg is great however only useful for sound. There is the Theora video format, but last time I watched an interview at linux.com in Theora the file was huge, about 120 MB to download! (although in a great quality). Have you tried watching it with the gnash plugin instead of flash? I'm looking forward to the html5 specification which apparently should include native embedding of video content however this seems to be far into the future as well. This is indeed very sad.
