Bandwidth costs.... If you're only doing some flash videos for some blogs or low traffic sources, then it's not going to matter and you can throw whatever you want into your flash videos... But if you're going for high traffic sites then you need to keep the costs down to maximize your profit.
Why did I say 1M? Comparing apples to apples.. tube type sites are basically a "replacement" for MPGs which list video galleries... So the site should be offering something comparable. For example, here's a BBO gallery.

The videos are WMV, 640 x 480, 15 seconds, 512k... So in order to offer surfers the same type of quality, you should be offering the same thing. The file sizes are around 1M.. So now get the source (or high quality versions) and try and make a flash video with the same dimensions etc. at 1M that looks as good... If you don't, then your costs will skyrocket as you "replace" your video galleries with flash videos on your tube sites.
