-It is really based on 1.1.2, not 1.2 sadly. So while very good and still fitting, it doesn't show the latest features until someone creates a new trailer. Are you the one who can do it?

-If you distribute the video somewhere, post the link here.  You may have to convert the video to another format first (leading to some loss of quality), because some sites do not support OGG Theora.
-* [http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2326396283485985651 Google Video]
-* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qTm9oPHZzU YouTube] (first converted to DIVX)
-The video had previously been uploaded to [http://youtube.com/watch?v=EIt69vznegs YouTube], but was removed, and replaced with the message "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Viacom International Inc."  Note that this claim is false.  The [http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/archives/005109.php EFF has a page] on Viacom video takedowns.
-== File format ==
-The video files' extension is .ogg.  Thought ogg was a music format?  Well, sort of.  Ogg is the name of [http://xiph.org/ Xiph.org's] "container format" for audio, video, and metadata.  When it holds vorbis-encoded audio, the file is called "[http://www.vorbis.com/faq/#what ogg vorbis]" - Vorbis is the name of an audio compression code.  The actual video codec used is called [http://www.theora.org/theorafaq.html#10 theora].  This ogg file has Theora-encoded video and vorbis-encoded audio.
-This means [http://www.videolan.org/ VLC], for one, can play this file, but its performance lags a little.
-Other apps to try:
-* [http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/ mplayerplug-in] works too, needs [http://www.mplayerhq.hu/ Mplayer],  also .
-* Realplayer and its fully open-source cousin Helixplayer (Real and Helix now have the same sort of relationship that Netscape and Mozilla once had - Realplayer is about 90% open source these days).  Xine (this is what I use).
-* Anything based on the libxine or gstreamer libraries (e.g. Gnome's Totem, KDE's Kaboodle or Xfce's Xfmedia).
-* You can also get Directshow plugins for Windows Media Player and other Directshow-based apps.
-* Basically, any reasonably up-to-date GNU/Linux system should play this out of the box, and Windows and Mac should play it with only a little effort. In Gentoo you have to set the useflag USE="theora" to be able to watch the video.
-The file formats and codecs described here are open source/open standards, thus they are given preferential treatment by this project on philosophical grounds.
