Dave,

I ran your short movie directly from Firefox.  My Fedora setup is not
normal, because I went to an European site and downloaded many non-free
drivers, allowing me to play sound and graphics otherwise blocked by
Linux because of patents, lawsuits, license issues, mandatory royalties,
etc.  SUSE has a similar source of encumbered software.  Check their
main site or wiki for information.

The movie is too long.  Please edit it.  Your product is great, but the
movie as is won't help sell it as you feel it should.
