as far as I can tell, they only save as wmv. There are programs you can use to convert them to mpg, but I haven't had any luck with those, quality wise the clips turn out really crappy. There's a few things you can do to lessen the risk of hotlinking - make sure there's an index.html file in your images folder (even a fpa will do), make sure you have a good htaccess file (although I know it apparently doesn't work for wmv files), don't name your clips 1,2,3 etc. I always make sure to check my bandwidth usage during the day as well, I've headed off some nasty bandwidth surprises that way.
