Hi Tom,

I don't have Flash installed either. The original video is just a standard Mac 
OS X Yosemite screen recording. I think h.264 wrapped in an mov file. But, 
Facebook does some processing and conversion to it after it is uploaded.

The Facebook video plays fine on my Mac in Safari, Chrome and Firefox. (No 
flash on my system) however, I do have Noscript installed in Firefox and to 
play the video in it I have to allow scripting from fb and a couple different 
CDNs.

I don't know what all Facebook does to the video. But, it also works fine on my 
iPhone which doesn't have flash either. 

If you are on Facebook, you can try just going to the FreeDOS group and viewing 
it off of that page.
