I agree that the website looks awful, but it always baffles me when people blame open standards for the fact that their devices don't support them. It's like blaming USB for the fact that a micro-usb plug doesn't fit into a lightning socket. You can't watch the video because your device is incompatible with a well-known format that many people use to record video. As rakoo states, Apple famously and deliberately refused to support flv, which was the most common web video format when iPads were first released. There is no technical reason why you can't watch the video on your iPad. There is no legal reason why you haven't got an Ogg player on your iPad. There are no legal or technical reasons why iPads don't ship with an Apple-authored Ogg player. In fact, both libvorbis and libtheora are permissive, rather than copyleft, so there wouldn't even be a problem building an iPad app upon them.
