The BBC hosts a ton of really stunning high-def content that is completely free and viewable on Linux.

Oh, and NASA also have some HD videos up as well

How are you viewing these in Linux. Every time I click on something from the bbc site it tells me I do not have quicktime installed.

For the BBC, I view the page source and copy the file URL into a terminal and download it with wget. It's a bit of a pain, but it works.

Here's a few:

if you can download the clips, vlc as well as other programs will display them. Some web designers (or their benefactors) are tighter than others about letting you download the media.
