I've had good luck with MPEG-1 recently. Plays great on Windows and Macs without installing anything, and even the warnings about non-standard video window sizes have so far proven to be unjustified. I've used 720 x 404 video in one product and couldn't find a Windows machine that would not play it well inside a Director movie. This is with MPEG Advance Xtra from Tabuleiro.

The video quality at that size is no worse than Sorenson done at half the size and blown up.

Grimm, surely you know that given the current state of paranoia in the US, we're ALL doing video for the government, advertently or in.


I'm actually finishing up something I need to hand in (not subcontracted or anything) and I'm trying to figure out the best type of video to use...

of course personally Sorenson / QT can't be beat; especially for it's scaling feature...but I've no way of knowing if these users have - or would be allowed to - install QT on their machines.

Um, maybe you should ask someone, such as the group for which you're making the production? Or did you just start creating stuff without any idea at all what your final user base would be? (I'd find that hard to believe of you.)


I mean really, how could you get this close to finishing something but still not know what your final target platform was?
