    Quicktime, but since that is not on there, and lots of users do not have it installed. Guess I would pick wmv.

      quicktime is mpeg4, so if quicktime isent there, I'll go with Mp4

      We will be testing Darwin Streaming Server 4 (quicktime streaming) next week - hope it does well.

      Testresults will be avalible on demand

        If you're going for quality then Quicktime and mp4 is the way to go. For sheer numbers of users with compatible players on their computers then its wmv. I personally use a mac so I have Quicktime and prefer it, many pc users aren't hip to why it's a better player because they are forcefed windows media.

            PC user but must agree quicktime kicks ass. To bad its so underrated by webmasters, would not be hard for us to force it on users.

              its not for porn, but for Conference webcasts.


              BUT - if I had a paysite with large videoclips, I would use that format. On tgp gallerys I would still use mpeg-1 since 99% can view that without any installations needed.
              When the member have payed to get great quality, I would only server it in the best format, and that is Mpeg4 if you ask me :-)

                Personally, I enjoy mpeg format, it'll play on apple, (personally I like apple, but most people tell me to fuck off) and it'll play on Windows media and all that stuff. Anything else and you're compromizing compatibility. Why not go universal?

                    What Mpeg-1 not even an option anymore?:-) for campatibility and pleasure i found users want mpeg-1. For ease and file size to webmasters WMV is great, but users don't like not being able to fast forward. usually sites that have WMV also have quicktime even though microcrap makes mac WMV player now

                      I reccomend all webmasters to try the demo of Darwin streaming server - It can be downloaded from
                      http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/streaming/

                      and it runs on:
                      Mac OS X, v10.1.3 and later (server and proxy)
                      Red Hat Linux 7.x (server and proxy)
                      Solaris 8 (server and proxy)
                      Windows NT Server/Windows 2000 Server (server)

                        I am a little confused. 90% of the desk tops in the worlds are running a Microsoft os, and 100% of those computers have the windows media player.


                        If your goal is to maximize target auidince, why would stream anything else? Real or divx, i could sort of understand, but Quick Time??

                        Just doesn't make sense

                          we currently provide all three formats to members.

                          what i want to know is what format would webmasters prefer to edit or use for promo purposes.

                            because there is a Internet explorer quicktime plugin, and then you embed the movie into the page.

                              edit - Mpeg4 (or 2)
                              Promo - Quicktime or mp4

                                Multiple formats if possible. Quicktime, wmv, and maybe a raw mpeg that you allow ppl to compress to other formats.
