Yeah there are a couple of options. One is to publish to Youtube and they just transcode it for you. But some have expressed concerns about their user agreements. Another would be to use something like Sorrensen Squeeze at about $100 and do it yourself. Also there is a French service called DailyMotion that does some transcoding and scripting so that if you hit a video on their site and you don't have a QT enabled browser it will automagically load the Flash version. And finally the guys from Blip.tv said that they were thinking about offering some kind of Flash transcoding service. So if you already use Blip (and I know you do) you might just wait and see what they come up with. The nice thing about Flash is that you can embed it and link to a quicktime on a blog and only the quicktime file will be picked up by the feed. But yet the Flash version is still there for those that simply refuse to upgrade their computer to modern standards (a joke folks!). Feel free to email me off list if you need more help.
