Yes but we are now discussing another service here. Imho there is some 
difference between downloading (and viewing) by HTTP or viewing a 
YouTube movie thru a YouTube site (and watching a Flash movie instead). 
Do you mean that providing any movie in Flash format will have the same 
advantages as it has viewing such a file thru a YouTube server?

That is true, I saw that indeed.

So it would be better to forget my issue and rely on the smart settings 
of the client's movieplayer?
