True, I have no inside knowledge as to who really uploaded them.  I
guess I was just being hopeful that it was the right people.

These videos are hosted by Google and kept in Google format to be played by the Google player.  If the church really did upload these, then they'd probably want them kept in a more general and/or non-company specific format.

Um, aren't the videos that The Church has on its website in Windows(R)
video format?  Isn't that pretty company specific?  The rest of your
reasoning makes sense though, and it could be that it was just some
well meaning person with a pretty good collection of LDS videos that
uploaded all those to Google Video.  Sorry if I mislead anyone with my
speculation.
