If you use SMIL, great... but dont let it be some sort of replacement for serving the video files directly too.
SMIL can be fun to experiment with and is also used for playlists (ie. vlogdir videoblog playlists).

So a previous post got me thinking and I started to do some research
into SMIL.  I figured this must be how the image overlay worked from
the linkubator tool and opened up the mov it saved me in a text
editor.  Sure enough ... xml :-)

So my question is this ... If I wanted to use this SMIL stuff on my
vlog, arent aggregators going to download just the xml file and not
really the movie file itself?  (the linkubator tool references a
remote hosted mov file) ... and couldnt this be a problem?

I've seen some 'interactive' movies with constant lag like symptoms
and I'm guessing its related ... that the file keeps gettin
re-downloaded each time the small xml file is viewed rather than
gettin played locally.
