Thanks Travis,
In the first paragraph you say there are 3 options: 1) Stream
(requires server software) 2) Embed in swf or 3) Progressive
download.

What does progressive download mean? What does production and
consumption look like. Let's say I have a website, a video in avi and
flash authoring skills. What do i do? How does a visitor to my site
experience the movie? They just click on a play button and see the
movie play? Is there any automatic assignment of the right sized file
based on bandwidth?

Also, when you say the downside of Flash is "live", you mean that Flash
is not good for broadcasting live events. yes?

Thanks for any clarification you can provide.
