Please Help: Offering Valid/Accessible Video Clips On A Page

    Basically I have 4 different video clips, each one in 4 different formats (yes, that's 16 in all, well done!).

    The formats are:

    - Flash Video File (.flv)
    - QuickTime Movie (.mov)
    - RealAudio/RealVideo VBR (.rmvb)
    - Windows Media Audio/Video File (.wmv)

    The idea was to encode the videos in formats supported by different platforms.

    Now I want to learn the best way to present these to the visitor. Should make a jpg thumbnail or something of each one? Should I stream them? If so, which format should I stream and how? When making files available to download I should include the filesize in brackets right? What MIME type?

    So many questions, I know, but I want to learn the valid and most effective way for future reference, not just stick them on with <embed>.

    Thanks a bunch.
