Save "Sita Sings the Blues" from the Flash format: can you convert FLA?
,----[ Quote ]
| Nina Paleyâs âSita Sings the Bluesâ is
| becoming a huge critical success, and may
| even succeed financially, which is unusual
| for any independent film, but virtually
| unprecedented for free culture films
| (âSitaâ was released under the CC By-SA).
| Thereâs only one sad thing about this for
| free software fans, and thatâs that âSitaâ
| was made using proprietary software, and
| the âsource codeâ is in a proprietary
| format: Adobe Flashâs âFLAâ format, to be
| precise. Paley has posted these files on
| the Internet Archive, but she doesnât know
| how to translate them into any free
| software friendly format (and neither do
| I). Can you help?

TML5 video and codecs
,----[ Quote ]
| Recently, Vimeo and YouTube announced that they
| were moving to support the HTML5 video tag, as
| DailyMotion did last summer. This is an
| important step in making video a first-class
| citizen of the modern web, and that is great
| news. Unlike DailyMotion, however, Vimeo and
| YouTube chose to rely on the patented H.264
| video encoding, rather than an unencumbered
| encoding like Ogg Theora. This means that the
| <video> pages on those sites will not work with
| Firefox.

Better video quality with html 5
,----[ Quote ]
| The proprietary flash player has left alot to be
| desired for Linux and Apple users. Especially if
| you are running with accelerated 3d and with
| compiz fusion. Finally it is possible to watch
| youtube videos in html 5 format instead of the
| flash player. And I have found an easy way to
| take advantage of this new feature. This
| experience for me at least has been so much
| better. No more low quality jerky video, but
| instead with html 5 the video can be viewed in
| high definition and still be smooth.
