Well, as I guess that asking your users to install VLC's mozilla plugin
isn't an option, I see 2 options:

- Stream using MMSH as an access and ASFH as a mux, and use Windows
  Media Player's IE Plugin to display the video

- Stream using RTP/RTSP (with VLC or Darwin Streaming Server) and use
  Quicktime's Plugin.
