Story: Anger as EU ignores open-source video
What
IOW, why do they insist that a video must play in the browser? Just adding this direct link to the video addresses all browser functionality issues (e.g., the TOC issue they mention). This also simplifies playback in Linux (and, FYI, binary-only codecs are NOT required to play videos from their site).
So I think that the only issue here is the FUD that they seed by saying "We cannot support Linux in a legal way" and not suing ffmpeg authors.
