that's a waste of drive space IMO, (having both)
because Windows Media Player streams down-loadable wmv videos just fine
IMO the only reason to use streaming flash videos is for advertising, because the user needs to load the web page to view the video, and on that page you load up with advertising
also since they can't save the video, they can only bookmark THE PAGE and will have to revisit that page and send their friends to that page in order for them to see it = more pageviews
flash is way more valuable from an advertising standpoint than a high quality content delivery standpoint
what some people are calling Hi Def flash is not hi def, hi def = 720 pixels tall or 1080 pixels tall, you are not going to stream anything that large unless you have a serious cable modem 15mbs+
most of this so called HD streaming flash shit may have been shot with a HD camera but it's not HD when you re size it down small enough in order to stream it to the average user
