How to stream MP4/AVI files directly in browser?

Question

Is there any streaming server or solution preferably open-source solution exist for streaming MP4/AVI directly to browser. I know it is possible to stream, when video converted to flv. But, my restriction is I couldn't modify those MP4/AVI files.

If you want to stream H.264 encoded videos you may want to have a look at this site: http://h264.code-shop.com/trac/wiki/WikiStart

Never tested it but it has some nice features like Timeshifting seek which enables your viewers to immediately jump to any point in the video.

Here is a demo using it and it's quiete nice: http://h264-demo.code-shop.com/
