Quoted for truth and accuracy.

The main reason for anyone using flash videos is for displaying adds or for leaching/security issues if you want to take that route.

Users have to be "on-line" visiting your pages in order to view your video. This is the great thing about using flash videos, youtube, etc etc...

I'm not saying that FLVs are bad quality, they are fine, but members want videos they can DOWNLOAD and save, put on their laptop or ipod, etc etc...

They don't want to have to be "on line" in order to play their favorite videos.

No different than if you bought a song from itunes and couldn't save it to your mp3 player.
