cruel sends us a link to the bsdconferences channel on YouTube. It's described thusly:
Channel for video content about the BSD Family of Operating Systems: FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD, MacOS X, PC-BSD, and more.
Currently there's a lack of OpenBSD videos, so please send some to the author to upload!

Nobody should have to use that.. lua dependency? yuk!
Marcielo is right, Flash/Adobe is evil.
This should not be advertised here.

No, Python. You're thinking about net/yt (which works great, BTW).

Please show me the site that provides the same content without flash.

Why not? It's not like anyone is forcing you to visit the site.
OP: thanks for mentioning the site. I will use net/yt to get a copy of the videos and enjoy them later tonight.

confreaks.com offer videos in MP4. Its not BSD but Ruby stuff. Anyway. It's possible to provide high value technical stuff without Flash.

This is not /the same content/. This is some random site that happens
to provide MP4 movies for download /in addition/ to viewing them online
using Flash. You have to download the movies, just like on Youtube.

Doh, you think? I don't like flash either, but I'm not going to pretend
it doesn't exist. I want to watch the BSD talks. What do you suggest I
do? Until your FreeTube site is done converting all of Youtube to Ogg
Theora, I'll just use net/yt and view the movies when I want to.

If there exists an "high quality" version of an video on youtube, like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snVtilaj-KI has, you can actually download it in MP4! And all movie players that I've used can play .flv when it has downloaded the file.
For downloading (Google) techtalks and listen/watch on my FanBoiPod I use http://file2hd.com which is an excellent site for this purpose!

Oh, get overyourself. Or take your religion somewhere else.

He has a legitimate point; this is an OpenBSD site and the BSD videos are hosted on a site that is not BSD-friendly.
It would have been better, methinks, to use a more open codec and host them via BitTorrent.

We didn't create the channel. But I'm taking advantage of the opportunity to host some of my presentations there since Murray Stokely a) has an insider's path to uploading movies > 10 minutes and b) has been kind enough to share his resources. If you don't want to watch them, then don't. But this is a good way to share some of our presentations with folks that weren't able to attend.
P.S. I also make all of my talks available at http://talks.dixongroup.net/.

Thanks Jason for the amusing while educating talk, will you repeat it in Washington? (BSDtalk 167)
How long does it take you to make one of these presentations, and what is the meaning behind the Family Guy scene?

I don't currently have any plans to give a talk at DCBSDCon. That would be just a tad too self-promotional. But you never know.
I had to load up the slides to figure out what reference to Family Guy you meant. I think that was a really obtuse reference to licensing (DMV). Obviously it wasn't too funny. ;)

The Adobe flash plug-in is non-free software, and people should not
install it, or suggest installing it, or even tell people it exists.
That Firefox offers to install it is a very bad thing.

It's time to use Ogg Theora more widely, anyway. Theora 1.0 is released and both Firefox and Opera support it natively.

The last video I watched in this channel (jdixons' BSD is Dying talk) had a high quality thing. Somehow, the quality degraded halfway through the talk, but the first part definitely was better quality than the 'normal quality' video.

Haha, that talk is hysterical, I had a very good laugh ;-)

Because the user has to upload the video in MPEG-4 H.264.

Not sure if you're referring to mine or another speaker. I use Apple Keynote for this style of presentation, which requires a *lot* of slides. "BSD is Dying" was 250 slides long, "BSD v GPL" was over 200. My technical presentations have been done in OpenOffice.
