Hi Mike.
What about Windows Media Video HD (wmvhd)? It takes a fast PC to play the
files but those I've seen are beautiful. Not having any HDV content I
haven't been able to experiment with the encoding side. MS maintains a site
for HD where you can download a bunch of samples.

I'm trying to come up with a good method for distributing small HDV
video files on DVD to people who can view it on their computer
monitor. The best I've come up with so far is to encode to MPEG2 from
Premiere and save the files on DVD along with an installer for VLC
media player. The idea is that the recipient installs the player,
copies the files to hard disk for fast access, then views the files
in full screen using the player. That typically gives them at least
the equivalent of 720-line high-def resolution.
Installation and viewing takes some time, though, and many viewers
aren't going to be interested in going through all that. There are
also some occasional problems with the recipient's computer not
having enough power to handle the bit rate of the HDV file so
playback stutters. That happened when I tried this out on my father's laptop.
Has anyone else successfully distributed HDV files to viewers? If so,
what save format worked best, and what was the best viewing
mechanism? Did you have to save the files with a reduced bit rate to
work on more computers?
Thanks,
Mike Boom
