It looks like we'll need to serve streaming Dvideo out of Zope in some
generally playable format (IE, Mozilla, Opera, etc.) on a variety of
platforms (Wintel, MACS (MacOS 8.6, 9, 10), Linux, etc.).  The format's
somewhat open, but since bandwidth is a consideration and the video
streams are significant (an hour to 90 minutes), MPEG is probably not 
a first choice.  It's been suggested that the right control language 
might be SMIL.  Anyone have experience in this arena they'd be willing
to share.  What works?  What are the hidden gotchas?
