Daryl, I think, in the end, everyone agrees that Flash keeps most viewers happy. And i agree about the advanced features it offers - I have already professed my love for the buttons they've built into their flash players over at http://crowdabout.us and I think there's room for a whole lot more where that comes from.
I also work on a Mac, so I'd say to you that it's easier to provide Quicktime and FLV - I just output in Quicktime and send it to Blip.tv who convert it to a flv file automatically. They also allow an automated cross-posting over to your blog with both formats linked. I want to make them available as wmv as well, but haven't got round to it. But then I only post about once a month, and mainly for my friends and family, and although I still get a few hundred passersby from somewhere or other, it's not a big deal. If it were my business or if I were trying to get a big audience, I'd probably make the effort to provide all sorts of formats including 3gp like Rocketboom & Galacticast and many more.

With flash you can add navigation buttons if you want to have a little more than a video, you can have an interactive video. Also, with flash you can save out a quicktime and still have some of the navigation capabilaties. Coming from a flash perspective, as I am, what kind of file formats would you make available on your vblog site to keep the most viewers happy? I am working on a mac so would probably use Imovie to to video editing, and also have pc accessability. Daryl [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
