(1.) A.flv (Flash Video) file is basically a video stream of images and audio sound. If you are running a streaming server, this would be a good way to go. The upside of this is that any part of the file may be accessed by the end user at any time without having to wait for it to download. But here again, running a streaming server is expensive. (2.) A.swf file (also a Macromedia Flash Format file) is a complete audio-video file with scripts and more. This would work best for HTTP (progressive) downloading, also called 'psuedo streaming'. The video clip will play as soon as a portion of the file is downloaded, but the end user will have to wait to access the latter portions of the file (no fast-forward possible) until the entire file has been completely downloaded.
