You don’t want MPEG-1 anyway. > It doesn't export MPEG-2 (as Jared mentioned - I think one had to purchase > the codec).

Windows can’t play *anything* by default. > Still confused. Shall I just use H264 in mp4 and tell them to install > QuickTime? Quicktime is not needed. There are 8 billion video players for windows, and I bet 5 billion of them support MPEG4. -- It was sad music. But it waved its sadness like a battle flag. It said the universe had done all it could, but you were still alive. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
