I'm guessing by a "sensible format", you mean something like MPEG. If that's true, they probably don't because the MPEG licensing authority charge for use of MPEG encoding, whereas real (or whatever the company's called) and Microsoft probably don't charge, and perhaps even pay BBC for the publicity of their formats.
If you meant something even more sensible like ogg vorbis/theora, it isn't compatible with windows so that's unlikely to happen. Or they could keep windows media and real media for winblows users and give us ogg vorbis/theora too. I see a petition starting :) But first let's get in touch with them. -- Alec Wright -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
