I'm not ranting. I understand all of that, and that's a main reason why
I love ubuntu, but try as I might, I have been unable to find the source
of that video in order for me to download it and convert it to WebM
(which firefox supports). Also, I've been unable to find the source code
for the current version of the website, where I would branch it and
attempt to get it to work with an html5 video player compatible with
firefox. I found this website: http://www.html5video.org/demos/ which
leads to this nice html5 video player that worked perfectly with
firefox, http://www.kaltura.org/apis/html5lib/kplayer-
examples/Player_Themable.html and I'm sure there are others. I want to
help, or at least try, even if I fail, but when I get frustrated is when
I feel like I cannot do anything to even try to help. No disrespect has
been intended, just frustration.. although it comes from other places
too, its not just from this bug or launchpad in general.. so, sorry.
