[OLPC-Philippines] Dailymotion for the OLPC

Really? I think it's using Totem Media player embedded in the browser.

Right-click on the embedded object using the browse activity on the XO
and it says Totem.

I don't think this is any different from using any of the other media
players before flash video came along, it's just that the XO supports
the ogg vorbis sound codec & theora video codec via the Totem media
player out of the box.

I think olpc.dailymotion is just sending vanilla ogg content.

Besides, I don't know of any SWF creation tool that embeds ogg audio
content into SWFs other than that AS3 hack which I suspect is a CPU
hog because they built an AS3 ogg decoder.
