[Olpc-open] video documentary formats

[Charbax]

Would the bad Youtube support on the laptop have something to do with the
software being used so far is Gnash and that might not have as good a
performance for playing Flash video files that an official Flash player for
Linux by Adobe?

Is the problem that Adobe's Flash player for Linux is not open-source that
it is not included in the laptop?

Are there some efforts underway to convince Adobe to contribute a better
Flash player for the XO or are there hopes that Gnash will work better in
future versions that can be automatically pushed out as a software update to
all XO laptops?

Otherwise, what is the resolution and bitrate supported for Mpeg4, Ogg
Theora and other formarts?
