I sent the following message to Fianna Fail online:
I would like to point out that most of your videos, especially the newer ones, are available only as ".wmv" (Windows Media Video) files and the remainder are available as ".wmv" and ".mov" (Apple Quicktime Movies).
I would like to point out that people who do not use a Windows operating system cannot play the ".wmv" files and it is difficult to get a player to play ".mov" files on Linux, this means that people who choose not to use Windows or Apple (a number which is growing rapidly, especially since many people are beginning to distrust Windows and are realizing that there are free alternatives) are not able to view your videos unless they download special codecs, which as well as being hard to find are illegal in many countries (I am not sure about Ireland).
I suggest you make your videos available in more widely accepted formats, such as MP4, or, more preferably, ".ogg". This would make your software more available to users of all operating systems.
What do you think?
