Influxis only host the .flv and the flash script files. You then host the flash player on your site. The flash player connects to influxis and streams the video and sound back.
Streaming media is very very expensive and requires top spec servers, everyone now is moving to Flv because it is cheaper and more common on computers. Quicktime and Realplayer will require people to download or update before you can watch a video. And those files can be huge! Flash comes as standard on most browsers. Windows Media, Quicktime and Real Player hosting is very hard to find, I dont know of any hosts that do it. Take windows for example, nothing windows give out is cheap!
