Hi Jonathan, For what it's worth we've had pretty good luck at the Ohio Digital Resource Commons with Flash Video (.FLV) saved in progressive download format.
Right now we are in the process of converting about 2,000 RealMedia (.RM) files, each more than an hour long. We embedded a simple Flash player (.SWF) in the DSpace XMLUI, and pass it the location of the video file so it plays automatically on the 'View Item' page. The video is also available for download in the 'Files in this Item' section of the page. All of our currently available video is behind Films for the Humanities & Sciences copyright, but if you're interested send me a PM and I can let you take a closer look.
