Someone pointed to Om Malik's report on Google Video, where a reader left this comment:
>In my ideal world, all forms of digital video would be Quicktime and encoded in H264, because nothing out there, at this time, comes even close to even hoping to touch H264's image quality at the lowest bitrates, it kicks insane butt, it blows me away. That's been my experience as well. The image quality of everything I encode in 'movie to ipod' (m4v) is MUCH better than what I get in any other codec, the file size is the same or smaller, and I haven't seen any problems with distorted aspect ratio. I'm launching a videoblog next week and at this point expect to encode in both m4v and mpeg4. Can anyone point me to any stats on what % of PC/Mac users can play H264/m4v video on their computers (I assume they need to have QuickTime 7)? I'll guess: a small % of all users, but a fair number of video aficionados. What % can play MPEG4? (presumably a very high percentage - apple says QT6 has been downloaded 350 million times) thanks! jd lasica ps -- apple's FAQ about h264 is here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/technologies/h264/faq.html ------------------------ Yahoo!
