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). > ... > Is there a way to stream an avi file through a browser?

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 appears to be (based on?) the same player YouTube uses. 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.
