I'm looking into running streaming video for a client. The most popular product I've found is Macromedia's Flash Communication Server. This is about $500 USD.

Does anyone know of a cheaper or better option?

we use playstream which offers streaming in many different formats.
it's relatively cheap and their support is awesome. If you're looking to buy a solution however, I can't make any recommendations. We use playstream for two reasons 1) as I said above...cheap 2) they have huge bandwidth so our users dont' have any issues streaming video from our internet connection (just a T1 right now).
does MM's server only do .flvs, or can you stream other content types?
