The flash version does not work for me. This is true of about 1/3 of the
Pycon 2010 videos that I have tried. The .ogv version of this and all
others that I have tried (hit Download under Comments) plays fine within
FF3.6 on my windows xp machine. Perhaps there is a linux-specific bug,
if that is what you are running under.

Amusingly, the FLV files play perfectly for me under Linux, while the OGV
files don't :)

Thanks for the links, the videos are very interesting.
