Yes, http transport is essential, as a matter of fact, we spent a
good year, changing ALL of our services to use http port 80. So we
built web services to do all of our communication. And we built proxy
support into our software services. It has eliminated firewall issues.

Thx, I'll take a look at FLV, as I have another project underway,

Ironically, http transport is essential. Ironic, because our
firewalls lock down all sorts of ports, so the only thing to do is
use HTTP on port 80. But of course, now there companies who will
sell products to inspect your HTTP to make sure things aren't
leaking out that way. Or sysadmins who ban cookies, maybe because
their tool doesn't inspect the response header. who knows.
I'm spitting into the wind, but I would much prefer dedicated ports
for dedicated services. Then I could focus on specific threats for
each one. But now , the internet is almost to the point that
everything is HTTP, so it's almost back to the pre-firewall days.
And then you have earthlink and AT&T in the states banning all SMTP
traffic from their networks except to/from their mail exchangers.
Of course it's to prevent SPAM, not so they can more easily spy on
us. AT&T would NEVER do that.

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.
