We use real streaming. It is easy to set up the coding and they offer a free program to convert to real format. The downside deals with their marketing of the player. It isn't easy to find the free player on their site, they try every trick in the book to make people pay for their deluxe version. I don't know which offers the highest quality.

Does anyone have advice or stats about streaming video formats in terms of user acceptance? We outsource our Web hosting services and I am wondering which video formats to support and develop. We are currently offering some streaming video in both Windows Media and QuickTime formats, but not through our usual hosting company. Our regular provider offers streaming only in REAL format but not Windows Media or QuickTime. We will be digitizing some video for a new project this year and we can prepare multiple formats, but I would appreciate advice about which formats to offer. This will help me set-up the video hosting requirements as well.
