I think this is a fantastic idea for Wikipedia. There have been tons of times I've wanted to watch a video or listen to an audio recording on Wikipedia, only to have it completely fail to work correctly on my device. To me, it couldn't be more of a win-win: increased access and prominence of video content on Wikipedia, but everything is also available or mastered in an unencumbered format. I just don't see how offering an alternative format makes Wikipedia "less free" like the majority of editors seem to believe.
