I've posted some video clips on my website, they are from 3 to 5 meg. My digital camera makes .MOV files, so I've purchased QuickTime Pro to edit the movies. Do the PowWeb servers support any streaming video, or what options do I have to make it easier for folks to see (download) my clips?

Apple offers their Darwin Streaming Server code for free...any chance PowWeb would install it?

Its been a while since I used Quicktime pro but Im sure you can stream your movies using http streaming instead if RTSP (Real time streaming protocol) which requires a streaming server.
It's just a matter of encoding the quicktime file with the correct bitrate for the users connection, then upload the quicktime movie to your server. The person clicks the QT, you get a short buffer then the movie will play while it is still downloading. You could encode a couple of movies for differnt bandwidth's (modem, ISDN & cable)
