Need to be in ogv or webm format due to browser issues in Firefox.

HTML5 version of YouTube now appears to be a bit selective on what videos it supports. We really need to find a reliable way of scraping decent quality videos as clipconverter and pwnyoutube just cant cut it.

Maybe a combination of CC and an offline converter (fmpeg?) would work for now? Otherwise perhaps a database queue of stuff to convert that we can service manually until its up and running?
