Does SWFtools only work with flv, swf and mp3 files?

If not, is there anything that works as simply as SWFTools does? Namely, being able to use inline tags to display the video.

I have a site that uses a lot of videos in a variety of formats. The modules with transcoders are fine, except these video files are huge - 30 - 300 mg. So transcoding will take a very long time. And I've found the longer it takes, the greater the odds for the upload to be interrupted and corrupting the file. Resulting in the need to repeat the process - often many times.

For our project we were going to ftp the videos to the site, then use a file field for the file name, Use views to output a list of videos and wrap the file name with the SWFTools tags during the output.

This would be fine so long as all the videos were swf, flv or mp3 - which they are not.

Thanks!
