FLV is meant to be streamed not downloaded. There are plenty of stand-alone FLV players but they are not bundled with Windows, so the average surfer doesn't know how to play them. However, FLV is getting more popular because surfers are downloading them from streaming sites (tubes).
If you want to offer an alternate downloadable format it should be WMV. If you want to be current in the game, you should stream in FLV and offer WMV/MOV as downloads. Also at this point offering H.264 is not beneficial, you are better off with iPod/iPhone compatible formats for QT.

Well I am reindexing my entire library and I am going to be offering everything in both .mov and .wmv. Yes, I am planning on streaming in flash as well. This month is going to be hectic. I am also going to offer the new formats in trailers as well.
There is an HD site that is an affiliate of mine. My window sizes for the "HD" video is smaller than 1280X720. The main reason that I am remastering everything. After going back and forth with him, I decided to just go through everything I have and get it up to spec. The members area is going to be over 100 gb when it is all said and done. So much video to go through... Well thanks for the info then ProG, if that is the case and your right, perhaps my conversions will reflect this.
