They're aggregated from various websites as well as the individual channels themselves. Occasionally, there will exist a video that the aggregator grabs that's not encoded in that format (grabbed from another site on the aggregator's list), and so that's when you'll get the request to install whatever codec or format it asks you.

Since 90% of the worlds PC's are running windows why not have a media player format? Sorry but like many I don't want yet another media player (Quicktime and itunes)to deal with.
