I have a client who wants to stream a 2 minute showreel of his work on his website. He currently has the showreel hosted with his own provider and available in low-band and hi-band formats, but frankly it looks pretty dodgy in both and requires any number of plug-ins in order to view it.

So, my questions are these: what can I do to a) improve the quality of the movie and b) improve the speed at which it streams? Obviously the host and the viewer's own connection speed has a fair bit to do with it, but are their any sure fire ways to make sure streaming video looks as good as possible?

Enquiring minds need to know :P
