I’ve pushed the stream­ing media doc­u­men­ta­tion over­haul. Check it out here: http://www.washington.edu/itconnect/web/streaming/ The doc­u­men­ta­tion is tar­geted to those who have some famil­iar­ity with the UW’s uni­form access clus­ter and web pub­lish­ing. It goes over var­i­ous ways to embed a stream­ing video, how to encode the media, and upload it to the proper location.
