FWIW I don't believe undvd's AVI files to be very specification
compliant. The author implemented .mp4 support after I pointed this
out to him, and I have found those to be very good indeed - they play
on a variety of systems (PS3, Mac) and with very good quality (use the
2-pass option).

I think all the videos you see streamed on the web are stored as .flv
files. mplayer can convert to .flv, then it looks like you upload it -
and a player - to your server along with a little HTML. This <http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/

Having said that, why not just upload the avi or mp4 to YouTube or
Google video? I assume the material is not under restricted copyright.
