You haven't seen blip.tv lately, have you?

They did some major UI redesign at the start of the year and all the nice things I used to like about it no longer exist.  Yes, they used to expose the direct download links / alternative formats, but that's completely hidden away now.  For example:

I'd argue the place it 'belongs' is on the LA server with a nice HTML5 frontend, but that's infrastructure that still being built.  Youtube works, videos can be played back using non-free software (webm + html5), and videos will have higher visibility given - well, it's Google - search should, in theory, work ;-)
