  1. Now to get this kind of stuff out in the public by lavalyn · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Too bad it's impossible considering how television is financed and broadcast. It'd be such an irony to see these videos (they're pretty good) broadcast over HDTV, with the no-copy flag on.

  2. *Confirmed* by (1337)+God · · Score: 5, Informative

    They work fine for me (Red Hat Fedora kernel with all critical updates installed, ATI video card, Altec-Lansing sound card, etc.).

    Too bad you don't have broadband though 'cause they're fairly large.

  5. Re:Are they actually playable? by ArcRiley · · Score: 5, Informative

    Got one better for you. The second place video, "Mixtape", is available in Ogg Theora format here courtesy her brother (who's involved with Xiph). If anyone can get the first video to play please publish how. I've been unable to get it to play with either MPlayer or Xine.

  6. Free Software playable versions of videos avail. by ArcRiley · · Score: 5, Informative
    We just put together a set of videos (transcoded, so lower quality than origs) for those who don't want to use non-free software to view them. You'll need a BitTorrent client and a fairly recent (post-November) copy of libtheora, as they're encoded with Ogg Theora.

    This one .torrent will download all three videos and a README explaining how to view them.
