Thats great news to hear John, the more formats get properly supported on mobile devices the better, and it sounds like you are taking a good approach in future which will keep things simple for those doing the encoding.
To answer Daryl's question, what a lot of people do is encode their video to a mov, mp4 or wmv, and then upload it to a service that converts their video automatically to flash. So then they have 2 versions of the video available, flash and something else, which is a farily good balance for most. But of course there are plenty of videos that are flash only, and plenty that are in multiple formats, so there is not quite a 'golden rule' on this yet, dunno if there ever will be. If when you talk about navigation buttons, you mean like the timeline, play, pause controls for the video, these are taken care of for you if you use a service like blip.tv to make & host the flash video. If you are making and hosting the .flv videos yourself, people normally put a .swf player file on their server and that loads the relevant .flv and handles the controls. I could of got some of this detail wrong though, not used flash myself for a few years.
