>> For the video format/codec I would recommend H264 delivered via HTTP Adaptive Streaming. This will allow mobile streaming to smart phones and tablets and you could always wrap H264 video in Flash if necessary (FlowPlayer/JWPlayer) for the desktop. You could use Flash on the desktop to protect the stream or a token based authentication mechanism along with user based access controls.

>> A cache server wouldn't be a bad idea either for popular videos. Another option is to use a CDN like AmazonS3 or Akamai on a case by case scenario. Say you are streaming a specific event and expect a heavy number of views for example.
