<br>Date: Jan 8, 2008 4:27 PM<br>Subject: Dailymotion for XO laptop<br>To: <a href="mailto:developer@laptop.org">developer@laptop.org</a><br><br><br>Hi,<br><br>My name is Sebastien and I'm a web developer at Dailymotion, a major
<br>European video sharing web site. I had the chance a couple of weeks ago<br>to discover the XO laptop and to play with it. I was impressed with what<br>the machine can do, and what the project represents.<br><br>Unfortunately, when I tried to see Dailymotion's website
<br><a href="http://www.dailymotion.com" target="_blank">http://www.dailymotion.com</a>, the videos didn't work.<br><br>We would like to solve this problem. At first we want to make a version<br>of our web site compatible with the XO laptop. But we might be more
<br>interested later in being involved in the OLPC project through, for<br>example, a dedicated activity, helping the community to share and spread<br>videos for different purposes (educational, creative, etc.).<br><br>However to achieve the first step, I wanted to know: what is the best
<br>way for us to display the videos in the browser with no extra<br>configuration for the user? I read this page<br><a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Video" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Video</a> and this one too
<br><a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Ask_OLPC_a_Question_about_Software#Include_Flash_Player.3F" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Ask_OLPC_a_Question_about_Software#Include_Flash_Player.3F</a><br><<a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Ask_OLPC_a_Question_about_Software#Include_Flash_Player.3F" target="_blank">
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Ask_OLPC_a_Question_about_Software#Include_Flash_Player.3F</a>><br>but I want to be sure to be optimized with all the parameters of the<br>laptop (video performance, cpu, power management, etc.). We encode our
<br>videos in flv, mp4, 3gp, etc.<br><br>Also, to test if the videos are displayed the right way, it would be<br>great if we could have a laptop. Is it still possible, in our case, to<br>get one through the G1G1 program, exceptionally? Ortherwise, what would
<br>be another way? I tried the VMWare image of the OS but I'm not sure that<br>it's a good way to test the real performance when we watch a video on<br>the laptop.<br><br>Thank you for your help<br><br>Sebastien Adgnot
