I think it's a good idea to have a easy found place for all videos. I also like (really like) the idea with a format that works on all platforms without having to install more than a normal browser environment. I have systems where I have Flash, but not Quicktime nor a AVI-player. But if the resolution is too bad it may be a drawback.
