One of the big advantages of Flash Streaming is that like 95% of the people have Flash installed, so the streams will work for nearly everyone, even if they are on a Mac or Linux for example.
If you convert a 5 minute DVD quality movie to for example 400kbps WMV and to 400kbps FLV their won't be much difference in quality nor file-size.
For the people who rather stream than download videos Flash is a big pro, but you will need to have wmvs or mpegs to satisfiy the people who want to download your movies.
