I've got a tip for you guys :) If you want to communicate with the open source movement, and really want feedback, and try to be part of 'us'... it might be a good idea to start by at least co-hosting your movies in some open format, like theora/vorbis, so we can actually watch them and comment on them. this is not intended as a flame, just an honest thought, most people (including me) are rather sceptical about microsofts willingness to cooperate with the open source movement, and, stuff like this isn't really helping. if 'port25' is really going to be the channel in which communication between microsoft and the oss movement is supposed to happen, you'd better make sure it really IS as open as SMTP :) anyway, I'll just wait and see what happens here
Full ACK! Yes, same problem here. I would like to watch it, but cannot. WMV is not really known as most open and license unentangled and it might be a mighty trick to be able to watch it on linux, a thing that is beyond my magic.
streaming wmv content via mms: ist really uncool. am i blind or is there not even a "download-me"- link ? "mplayer -dumpstream > interview.wmv" does it preliminarily. until mirco$oft decides to unleash its hordes of lawyers onto the community to make them cease to develop software that is able to play win32 codecs...
I'd like to hear someone reponsible for this site explain what they were thinking when they decided to post the videos in WMV format? Were you deliberately trying to antagonize the target audience? Or was this just a really dumb idea?
stop flaming here this are the first steps of people are used to live in their own world like colorfull logos and outstanding techniques ;-) we should enjoy the show and they should learn
I love Linux-based operating systems because they don't play crap video like .WMV
Guys - get a life. Stop boasting about the fact you can't watch WMV - it's an open standard! I can watch rubbishy OGG in WMP - get your many fingers to write some code. And stop echoing
they need to get used to some *nix er... limitations :3,and do movies that the *nix users can play,ooor :3,at least do a closed source player that run on the 65 Oses that they do have :3
Ok, for all the flames about WMV not being open and Microsoft Lawyers about WMV codecs. Get your FACTS straight. MS Lawyers and WMV codecs have NEVER been an issue, go look up the case you are referring to, it wasn't about the codecs, but the person had reverse engineer the codecs illegally. There are 1000s of FREE and OPEN WMV format players that did it legally and MS has NEVER touched any company or individual that did it legally. Additionally WMV is a 'standard' now, go look up VC-9, and other articles about how WMV and MPEG4 are the TWO standards for video that will be used on both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray. WMV has been turned over to a standards body (full source of the encoder and codecs) So by NOT supporting WMV, you realize YOU, and YOUR OS ITSELF are NOT adhering to 'OPEN' standards? So get off MS's back, and urge your player to support the 'standard' formats...
Then why won't WM 10 and 11 media play on anything other than Microsoft platforms, even when you try to use Microsoft-written software? When do those formats get released to the standards bodies? How come you can't use content bound with WM9 and later DRM on anything but Microsoft platforms? Just because you say it's open, doesn't mean it really is.
