Not a problem. I have actually tried the un-zipped approach: it does indeed work with Safari and Firefox for the Quicktime flavours. One thing I tend to do, however, is to fast-forward the movie once to decide whether I want to view all of it - and this is definitely not possible if it is not a special streaming protocol. But it is probably a good idea to provide more than one link for a movie (we do not have that many different ones anyway), so users can decide whether they want streaming or download only. Thanks!

If you're using the native browser video playback support (aka HTML 5 <video>), you should be able to seek anywhere in the video without a special server as long as the web server supports HTTP range requests, which is part of HTTP 1.1 and should work by default with most configurations.
