Currently Flash video because I can export it so easily from Camtasia.
However I tested some cool features of Silverlight with Joe and I'm looking forward to it for sure.
This is one of the methods, shown by Tim:

Yup...I asked some of my international visitors what they would prefer.
Showed them some Silverlight examples and they were pretty much like that.
But I told them one advantage is the way you can rotate selections on the screen.
Say for example a preview of 10 tutorials, being able to click on the one you want.
