You said "intranet".  Typically, intranets are across LANs.  Bad assumption on my part, I guess.

Yeah, it would require two files.  What's the big deal?

Currently the files are totally 25 Gigs.  Not sure what the compression would be but lets assume worst case that'd be 50 Gigs.  That won't make the server admins happy.  I haven't been back in yet (stupid school) but I'm hoping he can reduce them down.  Still it sounds like about 6 hours worth of videos so it's going to eat up a lot of room regardless.  Doubling that is a last resort IMO.

well, you always have the space vs speed trade-off. You could embed the flv conversion tool in a server side cgi/php script and host only the originals. That way you can direct link the originals for download and have the script do the preprocessing at request time for streaming.

I'm not sure how fast the conversion tools are though, that could be too slow and it'd be a huge wast not caching the conversion (at least temporarily if you don't want to permanently store them).
