I wonder if I should complain to the Greek Archdiocese? If you are going to put streaming content on your site, use standard formats, like video/mpeg, not RealMedia. And make it so that the content can be saved and watched later, so that people on slower connections can benefit from your content. You are not a company profiting from the content you are providing; you are providing it for the salvation of souls. So, it’s not like you are offended and accuse people of stealing if they save your content and watch it over and over. Right?

Anyway, just use standard media types that anyone can view, regardless of what reader their operating system comes with. Don’t be complicit with the corporate executives who just want to use your organization to make some money.

Oh, wait. Is RealNetworks run by Greeks? /me goes to check.
