What I made several months ago :

From a technical point of view, I think that chosing ogg will prevent
users to have easy access to the video. I'm not talking about Linux
users, but about windows users, that these video would help to convince
of the ease of use of some distributions.

Flash is not free and requieres a plug-in.

Gif image format is not free, no more patented and supported by all web
browser. The easier to use. However, we will lack sound.
