mpeg and wmv...

Streaming: wmv (56 for dial up and 256 for DSL)

Downloads: mpeg (pc only; mpeg-1 sucks too many bandwidth but mpeg-4 (divx/avi) requires a license fee) and/or quick time (mac & pc both, mpeg-4 quality without any fees to Apple)

look into swf -- there are some programs out there that will take a 50mb mpeg and make it into a 13mb swf (flash) file without loosing much of anything.

just compression..

I think one is called: Sorenson Squeeze
