Just did some digging... YouTube is supporting a number of formats. They're trying to not transcode most stuff on the fly, as they stream it to you, so as to not degrade it further. The original was Flash 7 with H.263, 320x240, 25fps, max 300 Kbps. Then they went to MPEG-4, 640x480, 30 fps, with mp3 audio. And now they're preferring MPEG-4, H.264, with AAC audio. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
