It seem like not many people are bothering to stream video anymore with Windows Media Server. When I look on tgp video sites and stuff, I notice that most files are just mpg files.

Windows Media player sort of streams it on its own now from client end. To me this seems faster than sites that use Windows Media Server, and then I see buffering crap that seems to be slower most of the time.

The buffering time depend on the connection.
You need to have a streaming server for streaming and not many sites have that. I dont know why, i'ts supposed to be better and faster with streaming, but nobody upgrades. Still i see some serious sites out there use streaming real player, that can count minutes and shit. I quess mpg's is the easy way, and you have to be a litle technical to use streaming media......anyone ?

Users want to download the video clip, not stream it.
