+
+The videos on my website are encoded in a format called ogg/theora,
+(which might sound scary, but really just means that very smart and
+very creative people invented it).
+
+Many modern operating systems support theora out-of-the-box. If the
+operating system you are using doesn't, then you can follow the
+instructions below to quickly get setup. Just follow the instructions
+for your operating system below.
+
+GNU/Linux, (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.)
+=========================================
+Everything should work out of the box with a video player such as
+totem, xine, or mplayer. If you do have any problems, ensure that the
+libtheora package is installed.
+
+Microsoft Windows
+=================
+First, download the [Windows
+codecs](http://www.free-codecs.com/download_soft.php?d=1890&s=361). When
+you open the resulting file, you will see a folder containing two
+files. Double-click the file that ends with .exe, and then follow the
+standard installation prompts.  You will then be able to play .ogg
+videos from this website with Windows Media Player
+
+Mac OS X
+========
+First, download the [XiphQT
+package](http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/xiph-qt/xiph-qt-0.1.7.dmg). Wehn
+you open the resulting file, you will see a folder containing several
+text documents and one XiphQT icon. Click and drag that icon to the
+Library/Components folder within your home directory, (which will make
+it available for just your current user) or to the Library/Components
+folder from the top-level of your hard drive, (which will make it
+available for all users). You will then be able to play .ogg videos
+from this website with QuickTime Player.
+
