no it doesn’t. why should i bother do install anything at all just to watch a video that i don’t even know if i want to see it.

i agree that having to install other codecs or non-free software to see the video would be wrong, but you could at least make it available in native mac and windows formats, because this would not make me install anything new. as a mac or windows user i already have those, so you would not force me to install additional non-free software and not make anything worse.

of course you should only do that if the videos can be generated using free software. because obviously asking you to install non-free software for this is something that can not be asked of you.

consider doing this for the same reason that the LGPL exists and is used to allow linking against non-free applications.

in the same way that the LGPL offers users stuck with a non-free application to have at least some part be free, having the video available for windows and mac would offer those users to watch a video with a message that you want them to see instead of forcing them to watch something else. because that is the choice they will make in the end: which video should i watch. it if doesn’t work on my system, i won’t be watching this one.

if you believe that windows or mac users which are unwilling to install any new software should be denied from seeing this video, then on the same grounds why allow them to link free software against non-free software as the LGPL allows?
