Is there a "standard" format for video in the Squeak community? I noticed that most of the Croquet videos were in Quicktime format, and I wasn't sure if that carried over to here as well.

I ask, because I put together a small video about building a simple calculator in Squeak, but it's in the WMV format. Is that acceptable? Thanks.

Also, if anyone's interested, here's the video: http://profnano.org/ code/squeak/Squeak_SimpleCalc.wmv

Works for me on a Mac, but only because I installed Flip4Mac. I assume it will work on Win, don't know about Linux.

Generally we prefer something that can be played on Mac and Unix and Windows, if possible without any additional software. I think only MPEG fits that, and it even can be played back by Squeak. Flash movies work pretty well across platforms, too, that's what Google Video or YouTube use.
