I personaly consider "mp3/mp4" and "ogg" (vorbis, theora, ...) NOT as "the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it". I asume, that there are nore then one person on the list aggree with me. So whats the prefered form of source. For "mp3" and "ogg-vorbis" it can be "wav", "flac" or "shn" but what about videos? I have a Video splited in singel bitmaps, which mena 25 images per second and I do not know, whether this can be the desired form of distribution since a short video of ONE second (512x384/24) would be 14 MByte as bitmaps which is by "a little bit larger videos" undesirable since it exceed any logical distribution limits. Please note, that I am talking about some embedded Videos in games and equivalent stuff... since I know, that there is a game (GPL v2) which can fill without any problems an entired DVD (4.2 GByte) with it sourcecode if distributed as bitmaps... otherwise 1-2 CD's. The Game without the Videos is definitivly useless.
