I was and remain irritated that the media was not archived in a FOSS format, but I put that aside as I was more concerned with consuming the media. I supposed I've grudgingly accepted that some media distributors will premier their content in proprietary format then later release it in a more FOSS friendly container. I notice that the excellent "Digital Media Primer for Geeks" was released in multiple formats, and I would have expected the "Making Music with FOSS" sponsors to do the same. Certainly, it is feasible. http://xiph.org/video/vid1.shtml I agree that this issue should be brought up (again!) to the powers that be. I would happily co-sign a letter of concern if we can identify a specific point of contact.
