Thanks Guys
There is a step in the right direction, now blip is even more accessible to the passing viewer and some of us who still can't view some of the videos on the site, even though I have downloaded plug in after plug in. There is so much of Randolfe Wickers' work that I couldn't see before but now thanks to this new developement, I look forward to seeing a lot more diversity from around the world.
Again, wicked work.

We're now using Flash as a default playback mechanism on blip.tv
itself. This is so that our users -- your users -- who don't have the
latest Quicktime or Windows Media installed can still watch the video.
We are NOT sending the Flash format through as a preferred format in
the RSS, and we are NOT automatically switching cross-posting to the
new Flash format. Some people will like it, and some won't.
So... In RSS, we're keeping the main enclosure as whatever video in
whatever format you uploaded, and we're using MediaRSS to name
"additional formats" that can be used, including the Flash. It'll be
up to the user to display the format that works best for them. Most
will use Quicktime.
In terms of cross-posting, starting today or tomorrow you'll be able
to choose a Flash cross-post template that will display Flash video in
your blog. You don't have to use it if you don't want to, but we've
tested this template carefully to make sure it works with Feedburner
(it does). This means that even if you use this Flash template and
play Flash video on your blog, Feedburner will still pick up the
Quicktime version for inclusion in your RSS feed.
These changes are all about giving people MORE choices, not less. If
you don't want to use the Flash video, you don't have to. With one
exception... right now we don't give people a choice as to whether to
have Flash as the default playback format on blip.tv itself. Our
experience has been that Flash is going to reach a wider audience than
Quicktime, but if you'd like we could probably roll this feature into
a future release.
Yours,
