Im about to build a website to showcase video content. I find myself wondering what the most widely-accessible format is -- and I mean including desktops, laptops, and mobile phones. Im not particularly concerned about PS3s or Xboxes. Mostly just adult- and business-type devices.

For instance, Ive considered using Flash (as that is what Hulu and Youtube use) but these dont work on an iPhone. On the other hand, Youtube has created an app to help their videos play on an iphone.

And then theres HTML5 which can play video but browser support looks pretty grim. Im about to build a website to showcase video content.
