First, Adobe doesn't give a rat's ass about whether you or anyone else can produce Flash video for free. They are all about maximizing how much you pay and they just spent a boat load of money buying Macromedia to facilitate the extraction of money from everyone's wallet, including yours. They are basing this strategy on OPEC's new thinking; squeeze them for all you can. Which is why gasoline prices are again rocketing towards $3 per gallon and why Exxon is planning for yet ANOTHER record profit! But, just to go one step further, Ogg Theora which you mentioned, is free and it's lack of cost has done absolutely NOTHING to advance its adoption. Even most Linux users don't bother with Ogg and its ridiculous name.

True most don't use ogg (i do because i buy hardware that supports it - also some record companys now include ogg rips on cd. At last)

Off topic $3.00 a gallon here in the uk it,s $8.00 give or take a couple of cents
