I have several video systems for churches, and some other stuff, I
had setup QTSS, and others, RealPlayer (Helix) server also. Quicktime
fast start, was always more reliable and less hassle, and FLV can be
done 2 ways, you can EMBED in the SWF, or you can point to a location
for the player to stream it, and it can be just an http link, or even
a relative reference, which I have found to work great. It allows you
to make frames, and embed movies with just arguments.
I usually approach everything, by trying just about everything, and
then weighing all of the factors out. So for a time, I had 3
streaming servers going QTSS, Win2003-WMV, and Helix for RealPlayer.
FLV using http as the transport is the most compatible, most flexible
for the developer, cheap, and free to serve.

Do you mean "fast-start" or stream? You can save movie/audio files
so they will start playing before the download is complete, but
it's not streaming.
We run Darwin Streaming Server on linux with both RTP/RTSP UDP
streaming and HTTP TCP streaming. Agreed that http downloads are a
LOT easier. Figure on spending a month learning how to properly
stream with Darwin/Quicktime.

You can stream without using a streaming server, and I have found
little benefit of using a steaming server, except for multicasts
and things like that.
Also, FLV, is your best bet for compatibility, and you can stream
flv, using any http server, the player will handle it just nicely.
Sorenson Squeeze has some nice tools for going right to FLV.

We need to be able to stream video clips of the DVD's on the
customers site.
They are an all Mac based company but I see video editing tools
that will
save moves as swf or flv I guess it would be easier if we could
save them
as WMV files then IE 6 would just server them.
So questions
If we prefer to just do this out of IE 6
Are their tools to convert different formats to wmv
If we need to support two formats is there another format we can
use that
will work with IE 6?
I tried flv and while it works in preview mode great on my local
machine
when I upload the file and the three components to the server it
does not
work at all.
And lastly although they should be able to get the clips from the
producers
of the video's if they have trouble can they just take the
trailers off the
DVD for those that have them?
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
