Re: (OT) Best streaming video type

Windows Media Encoder is free, but you have to do a lot of very annoying checking to make sure you render the correct browser to the client for the version of windows media you encoded with.  OTOH, you can protect your media files somewhat by using ASX files to stream your videos.  And you can be fairly certain that the client has Windows Media 6.4 installed at least.

Quicktime streams too, but the files are huge.

Flash video is quite nice, but requires the Flash player.  The encoder is free, IIRC.
