Well, the sample video file's FOURCC (codec id) is wrong: in the file there is 'jpeg' instead of 'MJPG' (case sensitive), and therefore can't be played by most players (when you change it with a hexeditor to MJPG, it can be played on windows/mediaplayer too, for example). It is a simply badly encoded file, and i do not know why put someone such file to net, because MJPG is NOT optimal codec for such stuff, divx and other MPEG4 variants are far better. (smaller frame size too)
I hope the next presentation will be correctly encoded, with correct fourcc id. (and there is almost nothing on that video, just some colorstuff - guess, it is a bit boring, showing near nothing from the system itself...)

I agree, I'd like to see a longer (1-2 minute) presentation of the more important new features.

Altivec enabled shutdown should be enough for most...it'll shutdown so fast there will literally be a rip in the fabric of space around your Peg! The chips nearest this field will travel so far forward (and backwardsimultaneously) in time that they will immediately revert to theor consituent components creating an interesting looking (but useless) pile of sand, precious metals and minerals!

Alternatively...such things as native video and sound codecs may be included....along with an altivec enabled mplayer!

Take yer pick.
