We would like to go back and hint the movies so that they stream better, but don't have the energy to do that at this time.

2. Could it be in MPEG-4 or .mp4 with the AAC codec. At 320x240 video, with sound, I can get a whole match (about 2 minutes 30 seconds) in about 8 megabytes with very good video and audio.
Yes. Notice how the epcot awards videos are in MPEG4 (.asf files). 2:00 matches are about 8MB. Though we could get it down to 4MB we'd rather have a little extra quality. See www.soap108.com/2002/events/cmp/movies

3. Could the filename include the team numbers and the match.
We're going to see if at least the event name and match number can be superimposed onto the video feed so that replay and archiving gets a whole lot easier. If that can be done team numbers would be just as easy.

Thanks,
