Sigh, Windows can't open that file type. Can it be posted to youtube?

It's about enabling the video to reach as wide an audience as possible. Asking people to google for what player to download, download it and install it, then redownload the video, means 98% (made that up) will just sigh and move on without bothering. It taking literally 5 minutes to download before it can be run also does not help. Youtube has solved all these problems - why not use it?

You can view .webm directly in recent Firefox or Chrome versions on Windows, you an also view .webm in IE9 and above provided you have the right codecs installed. It's a perfectly acceptable format.

It's about enabling the video to reach as wide an audience as possible. Asking people to google for what player to download, download it and install it, then redownload the video, means 98% (made that up) will just sigh and move on without bothering. It taking literally 5 minutes to download before it can be run also does not help. I guess. I've had vlc installed for so many years I never even consider that someone might not be able to play a given media file of any type. Media Player Classic (http://mpc-hc.org/) might be more to your tastes perhaps.
