Macromedia Flash - Using video in Macromedia Flash MX: "Embedded video is compressed with the Sorenson Spark video codec, which produces high quality video at small file sizes." The Sorenson encoders are very expensive, so it may be cheaper to encode through Flash. The more I think about it, the more Flash seems like a viable alternative for video, mostly because it's more standard and reliable than any of the media players. You can't really import by *linking* to videofiles though. You have to embed them.
