This is going a little back, but I read that streaming media from a webserver
takes up more bandwidth than just downloading and viewing locally. Things may
have changed. And, for myself, I like keeping these things anyway, so I save
where I can instead of streaming, anyway.

This is the level of ignorance on my side--I thought it would be a client-side
thing--anytime your browser hits an extension like .mov, display with quicktime.
I've looked at my Apache conf file and there's no associations with .mov's, so I
just assumed it was a client-side thing.
