Thanks, that's a really nice tour through the basics.
Quite a lot of new stuff for me in the video part...

Thanks for this.
I am not able to see this (easily) because the arrow (move forward/backward)
keys dont work in totem. So is there any tool other than totem to see webm
files and/or tools to convert webm format to something else?

that seeking does work. So I guess try Iceweasel? Or maybe it's the
underlying OS? I am using Debian.

mplayer works fine here (but it seems webm isn't yet associated with
video, well, tab completion doesn't work for that video file).

avi is just a container afaik.
My guess is that since webm is rather new, your video software is simply
too old. I suggest you use the ogg theora version also available on
http://www.xiph.org/video/vid1.shtml.

With all the (predictable) discussion here about the mechanics of playing that video (it
wouldn't fast forward or rewind for me in mplayer except in huge, like 1 minute
chunks), I think we missed the big picture which is:
This is a FREAKING AWESOME mini-lecture. Stunningly well done. A lot of the audio stuff
was not new to me, but I thought it was presented extremely well: accurate, informative,
clear, and entertaining. It's very hard to hit all those at the same time.
The video portion was mostly new to me-- explaining things I'd used for years without
understanding what/why they were--, and I very much enjoyed it.
Nice job. I also liked the little political statement at the beginning too. Indeed, this
technology has been under the control of large corporations (and their patent lawyers) for
way too long. Glad to see something like this encouraging us unwashed masses to get
involved in it.
Thanks for posting this.

Thanks for all the nice reviews... I hadn't said much because it felt
werd commenting on a thread about a video I made :-)
Most of the problems folks are having I can only pass along. We did
find a number of bugs in the tools that we used for final prep of the
video streams, and we fixed them as we went along. For example,
OggIndex had a bug that socked any gstreamer-based players (like
totem). And... in general, all of this stuff is relatively new, or at
least the WebM and browser playback is.
The WebM stuff only works in bleeding-edge gStreamer, and there had
been a problem producing the files, as it turned out some of the
Matroska tools had broken float handling on Linux (mkclean was using
type-punning, so gcc ate the code involved-- we fixed that).
Similarly, WebM only works in FF4 beta, latest Chrome (though not
well, ironically enough) and latest Opera.
