It seems, the editor team at LXer missed the announcement of the winner in the Open Video Contest a while ago. The Open Video Contest is a contest organized by Creative Commons and Fedora, to promote the use of free media formats (ogg-theora is used), flexible copyright, and the Fedora Project.

Six videos came in, all of them are worthwile to watch, and the one from Maurizio Bertoldi(shortcut) from Italy finally won. It's a very good video relating freedom to Linux (and even to Dell?!) so be sure to check it out.

I have not yet managed to successfully view Ogg video streas. The videos are always jerky, they never seem to cache properly. And yet I can view WMV streams with the same viewers, MPlayer, VLC, quite successfully.

caching was a problem here too, therefore I downloaded them first. It's probably the site is a tiny bit too slow.

MPlayer sometimes has troubles watching WMV, and sometimes it works fine. However, ogg just works over here.

Never had a problem wmv always streams perfectly for me. On the other hand I have not ever managed to view an ogg stream from anywhere. Downloaded first not a problem, but streamed over the net, no way jose.
