Your video plays fine on Macs. BUT you cannot scan through a video with WMP like you can with QT movies. This was recently mentioned by the Rocketboom producer in an interview a couple of weeks ago. Rocketboom is an excellent example of how good QT video can look. Question 2 - I've heard some buzz about H.264 compression.  Is this type of compression available just for Quicktime .mov or can you use this compression with .mp4 files? H.264 is a subset of mpeg4. so all H.264 encodes are mpeg4 - just a lot better looking and smaller. I have a QuickTime 7 H.264 mpeg4 compression example on the <http://videopodcaster.blogspot.com/> site. Question 3 - As a Windows user, should I purchase Quicktime 7 Pro so I can get the H.264 codec? As a Mac user I think so. But it's not necessary. Plain mpeg4 is still better than WindBlows Media Slayer. Question 4 - How can I publish an .mp4 file?  Is there a reasonably cheap video editing suite that will do this or should I stick with the file converters? Pinnacle Studio Media Suite is only $30 after $60 in rebates at Fry's $90 every few weeks. List $120.  Throw in any additional advice you might have for me and tell all your teacher friends about TILT - I want it to be a medium for all to share great learning ideas. Buy a Mac mini. Use iMovie HD (5).
