I have to agree with some of the guys above, Flash - and streaming in general - is great but the vast majority of members want to be able to download to their machine. I've seen it happen with a couple of current sites where there are a lot of complaints due to videos being only available in a streaming format, with a lack of downloads you have to get your price right.
Personally for downloads I'm using the AVI file format with standard mpeg4 video codec and mp3 audio codec. I've not had any issue or complaints and they play on all platforms; Windows, Mac, and Linux. Also all encoded with open source software so no need for a massive outlay of cash. :D
