Without installing any new codec or other software, on Windows XP using FireFox as web browser, clicking on AVI and WMV both start MicroSoft Media player. I get audio but no video. With AVI, at the bottom of the window I see: No Video? Download the TechSmith Screen Capture Codec http://www.techsmith.com/codecs.asp . With WMV I do not get any explanation of why no video. I guess I could do that, but as a visitor to the Axiom site I might be a bit put-off from trying this unless I thought I really needed to do it. The MOV and FLASH formats worked right away. No problem. Perhaps FireFox has built-in support for Flash or else I previously installed it. MOV takes noticably longer to download. (Is it larger?) Both look and sound fine on this system. The FLASH version has the annoying feature of cycling back to the beginning and playing again indefinitely. I expected it to just stop like the others. In spite of that I preferred the FLASH version because it was fast to load and display. Anyway, nice job!
