Well keep in mind, Firefox and Epiphany both support Flash if 
installed with Adobe's RPM, and MPEG-4 if installed from rpmfusion.

MPEG-4 is actually almost simple to install -- if only the rpmfusion 
web site was better.

I think we need to accept that our multimedia story will never be good 
unless the user is able to discover and enable rpmfusion. We also need 
to accept that legal doesn't want us helping the user find rpmfusion. I
don't see any way around this problem. :( But it would be really nice 
if their website had a nice, simple "click here to enable multimedia" 
button that would give you the RPM to enable; it's just too confusing 
right now. There is a list of links and you're supposed to notice 
"Enable RPM Fusion on your system" at the top of the list, but it's 
hardly an eye-catching link.
