The three possible contenders for that title are probably H.264, Theora and WebM, but each comes with significant drawbacks (licensing on non-Apple platforms, poor quality, and poor encoding speed, respectively). If cutting down the number of formats is a popular idea, then I would suggest making those 3 the base set of formats, and get someone with extensive video experience to benchmark quality/size/speed of all 3 and provide a discussion of their relative merits. -- Tristam MacDonald System Administrator, Suffolk University Math & CS Department http://swiftcoder.wordpress.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pyglet-users" group.
