I think blip.tv is the easiest option for this, since they make the original file that was uploaded available. If people upload a high quality QuickTime, you're home free, you can grab it off of blip. I wonder, though, is this really a fair use of the blip.tv service? Hmm.... If you really want a slick custom solution, one option to consider is the On2 Flix Publisher SDK for Flash, a web browser plug-in that you integrate into your own web site that enables people who want to upload video to encode using VP6 (Flash 8) on their own machines and then upload to your web server. This reduces server encoding loads and bandwidth. Downside is there is lots of computation going on at the local machine. A very interesting option. I was looking into until I decided it was better to simply use blip.tv and forget custom branding and integration and all that. See: http://www.on2.com/developer/on2publisher/ Have fun! David.
