I wouldn't use a cloud if you need horsepower equal to a fairly strong dedicated server. Cloud is good when you need 1/3rd of a server, or when you need fifty servers.
Software wise, recently we've worked with several people getting good results with mod_264 and mod_flv. They keep things simple and flexible by enabling Apache to atream effectively, with fast forward, etc.
