It looks better then MPEG (which is non-free anyway) and is a bootload smaller, better then AVI by a longshot, better then basically anything.  And as far as any author cares, it's free (beer).  Because MacOS and Win9x/NT can view it, and that's basically the Desktop market there.

And we don't even have MPEG-2 support either.  So rather then just live with it, lets go make some noise.  Get some binary implementations for ELF or whatever.
