Yep, I've thought about this myself, too. I guess Canonical would have
the original video somewhere, and this should definitely be done since
the current quality is so poor. The newest improvements are not in the
released Theora version yet, but anyone can take the latest versions
from the correct version control branch and use those to encode the
video. I volunteer to do the encoding experiments needed to improve
the quality dramatically while keeping the file size same :)
