If you have a 320x240 flash video clip, it will run fine even on a slow PC with windows 98. Also, you can add an auto-install flash player code, so that the 4% that doesn't have flash can choose to download it.
I think that Flash Video is the future for streaming video. Most big mainstream video sites are using it, so most surfers are used to it.
Flash has many advantages over wmv/mpeg. The only disadvantage is downloading (they would need a seperate player to view the videos), but for just streaming (so perfect for FHMG) flash video is really a great option.
