passed the http://youtube.com/watch url from the command line, and that gnash
played them in browser, both with the free-but-patent-encumbered codecs in
rpmfusion-free.
So, no, you don't need proprietary software to view youtube. I use VLC with
youtube links daily.
I too have had some bad experiences with blip.tv's upload service trying to
get ABLEconf videos online. Blip.tv may be more Freedom oriented, but when it
comes down to it, youtube+an ogv direct download accomplishes the same thing
with much less effort :(
Awesome videos, Máirín. Almost enough to inspire me to put my own ugly mug
onscreen ;-)
