Archive.org says hello ogg, goodbye Flash?

As of this morning it looks like videos uploaded to the Internet Archive are now being converted into, among other things, the open OGV (ogg video) format. Pretty cool.

At the same time, the last video I uploaded was not converted into a Flash (FLV) format. There's still a Flash player, but it's configured to display the .mp4. Old Flash videos have not been removed.

The Drupal "archive.inc" plugin for Embedded Video Field will be updated to take this into account.
