Codec "packs" ARE your problem!

Codec "packs" are often compiled of "HACKED" version codecs that are not compliant to standards. They will work with certain configurations, and not with others.

There is no easy "cheap" solution. To avoid having problems that will affect some people and not others, you need REAL, PURCHASED codecs, and a decent quality video edit suite. A decent entry level edit suite may set you back $3500.00, plus countless man hours learning to properly use it - The learning curve is pretty steep.

If this is not within your budget, then you are much better to farm out your video editing to somebody who has the tools and experinece.

Saving a few bucks trying to DIY might just end up costing you much more in the long run. Do you really want clients unhappy (or worse doing chargebacks) because they cannot play the video you edited with a codec "pack" ??

Just my 2¢
