Your opinion - why should we (or should we not) use flash as our primary platform for video delivery?


hi,

i work @ college delivering courses online @ distance. currently, using windows media streaming server our main platform video. want able stream, our students on world , have many different connection speeds - t3 way down dial up. windows media streaming, can configure video @ multiple bit rates, within single file, address these various speeds. file delivered @ speed appropriate each user's connection. can choose force authentication given fie, while still having of our video clips available anyone.

we evaluating our setup , looking various options. lot has been said flash. love hear pros , cons using flash our primary platform. have heard 1 advantage flash there way of setting files, no player needed. know if true. sense not - had removed flash computer, , not play swf extension. suspect, computer had no idea without flash player installed.

i have heard concept of streaming inherent within flash technology - flash files automatically stream in similar manner our current setup, speed , flow of delivery dependent on user's connection. can comment on that?

additonally, need separate server, not want conflicting on server house our course management system. there aware of type of setup?

some of video files use need limited audience - (due copyright , contractual issues). there way flash handle such issues? windows media streaming server, can opt have file require username , password. requires manual addition of these credentials server though, , not efficient approach.

please feel free add additional comments think might helpful. information can give me.
