WMV is the winner as it's close to universal and a single link allows both streaming and downloads for each movie.

you can stream quicktime or flash now, but you have to pay for and set up stuff in your server, and last i checked, you pay different amounts depending on how many people you want to be able to stream the movies simultaneously.

you could offer a downloadable quicktime or mpg version of each movie for those few who can't watch WMVs. or you could simply make sure your trailers are WMVs - anyone who can't watch them probably won't join...

So from what I can see (correct me if I'm wrong here) WMV is pretty much a hands down must since I'm going to be streaming videos since Flash has inherent downfalls with bitrates and load times. As far as videos for downloading go, however, it's best to offer at least two formats (ie WMV and Quicktime) so that surfers can choose based on what they wish to do with it.

Maybe if Flash and Quicktime pick it up, they would be better candidates for streaming in the future, right?

Thanks,
