Looks like they’ll convert your media to FLV format for you, too, by allowing you to upload your original format and then fill out a form which initiates transcoding and spits out some HTML for you to paste on your site. They recommend you delete your original video afterward, but real vloggers won’t do that. Instead they’ll provide multiple versions of their videos so their viewers have a choice!

Have a look at Dreamhost’s Flash Image Rotator and Flash Media Player here. They’ve got decent Flash Media Player documentation in their wiki. And signing up for Dreamhost via this link will kick back a referral fee to Node101 Phoenix to help pay for hosting this site.
