The answer is "HTTP Streaming". In fact you don't need FMS if you wish
to allow users to cache videos. You can use any webserver with
PHP/MySQL. AFAIK, Google Video works just in this way. You can find
some brief description of how HTTP Streaming works for example here:

Sorry, it's not an advertizing, but just a link. Of course, you'll
need to create some special SWF movie (pretty simple though) to let
your viewers to see such videos. Fast navigation is guaranteed.

yes you can do that using fms3.

yes you can do that using fms3.

I need this because user has good bandwidth (>1Mbps) but with some usage limit (say 100Mb/day). User doing a random access to see parts of video again and again will end up wasting a lot of bandwidth.
