But I totally depend on Quicktime compatible media, both as a creator and as web developer.
vlogdir.com can handle most media formats (within the media aggregator) but some features like the videoblog playlists require quicktime (uses quicktime SMIL)
On the Java side, i used to work with java alot years back (JMF), then stayed away from it for a while. I am now once again interested in using Java and have done so by integrating an XML based Download Manager in vlogdir. It takes an rss feed, grabs the media enclosures and adds them to a download queue that lets the user choose where to download to... and displays status w/ progress bars. Totally experimental, but I think its pretty cool. Borrows from what you get in desktop apps like fireant and itunes, minus the automation/scheduling options.
Flash is something I have always used sparingly within a site design... never a true believer in a fully flash based interface though. I have also shit on the idea of using flash video in the past.. primarily because of it's lack of ease for remixing video. But, I cannot deny it's relevance for Internet Video and the quality has been improving nicely. I also think it is very useful as a web based video preview/playback option and sites like vSocial have done an excellent job with tools their like video rolls.
So, I will be utilizing more Flash than I ever thought I would months prior.

I'm actually surprised that Java is higher than Quicktime, no matter how
you cut it. But I know that the QT number you quote has been fairly
steady for some time now.
