Depends on what sort of bandwidth you are expecting, and if you absolutely need to prevent someone from downloading the stream.
The latter is virtually impossible with most formats - MPEG, QuickTime .MOV's, and even RM in some applications are generally downloadable. Given enough effort, almost any of them are, but those are the easiest. I know a lot of people have had luck using the flash communications server for applications that are bandwidth intensive, and I believe - although I am not 100% sure - that you can't just mine the browser cache and snag the video from there. Of course, that's an entirely different budget than using real server or simply embedding an mpeg. The simple fact is that you probably aren't going to find some sort of un-downloadable video format that does not require specific server software, or some specific plug-in for the client side.
