For streaming media this has largely been eliminated by a few vendors.
I'll mention Wowza since I make use of it and we use it in clusters to
provide video and audio streaming to mobile CDN customers.

Upload a single H264+AAC+MP4 file and the server will stream the same
file and repackage it on the fly for Silverlight, Flash RTMP, and iOS
segmented streaming.

That way you target all the major handset manufacturers without
requiring a dozen different files of the same video, and now you only
have to worry about how do present the media on the handset.

Exactly!
