Roger Clark: Because YouTube relies on Flash, which is horrendously unstable on Linux and likes taking out the entire web browser. At a guess, anyway – that’s why I’d go for Theora myself. Quite apart from Theora being a nice open format.

Tack:

Both are much worse than normal due to the increased lag of two ssh tunnels.

The second one still flickers, but it has removed a whole class of problems, namely that subwindows gets moved by the X server so the position of wigets get out of sync (overlapping and stuff). In the second movie you never see this.

I’m not sure exactly about the reasons for the remaining flicker, but hopefully that can be fixed too.

If you ask me, they both suck.

Is it ssh making the “no flicker” one that bad?

Why don’t you people ever just use YouTube? I definitely don’t have the codecs installed to play Theora or whatever this is.

There’s neither a video nor a link visible in my browser (FF3)… Could you maybe add the video file links separately to the end of the post?

Nice! We’re planning on doing roughly the same thing in Mozilla. Should be nice to have.
