                      Hint: WMV = WINDOWS Media Video

                                      MPEG's are the smart way to go.

                                      Think about it.....we all bust our asses to make more money each month. Why would you use a format that 10 to 15% of the computers out there can't see.

                                      Mac users are a small percent of the overall granted, but why limit your sales options.

                                      Ask yourself this simple question. "Would you like to increase your sales potential by 10 to 15 percent?"

                                      If your worried about the bandwidth bill you've got other problems besides what format of movies to use.

                                              you would think if that is true, more reality paysite tours would have have mpeg trialers instead of wmv

                                                      Now this is true. Most most Macs can in fact see WMV. I think the real number is closer to 1% of the users can't see certain versions of Windows Media like codecs above WM7. Those people use really old computers and probably aren't going to buy shit anyway. And they are huge pains in the ass.

                                                      I don't understand why all movie galleries aren't done in WM. Instead of pushing out 1.5mb gals we could all have 500kb galleries which would actually improve the productivity of MGP's since surfers can download, watch and either buy or get back to clicking more links on the MGP a lot faster than when they try to download a few 1.5mb vids.

                                                      Plus, as Bigdog says, it would save us a shitload in BW costs.

                                                                                  10-15% of web users are not on Macs, and Mac users can install the WM player anyways.

                                                                                  I'd say 1% maybe 2% at the most have issues with wmv. There will be issues with any format. believe it.

                                                                                  With wmv format you can deliver the same quality as an mpeg in almost half the file size, and when your dealing with promo trailers that is important not only for B/W usage on your end but for the user experience on the consumer end as they can load and play the clips faster. Especially for the slower broadband users that might have a cheap shitty dsl or isdn line. Dialup users it makes an even larger impact as it dramatically reduces their download time to view the same length and quality clip in wmv versus mpeg.

                                                                                  Why would you want to make all those people (98%) download all that extra data in mpeg format just because 1 or 2% of the people have issues with wmv. That doesn't make sense.

                                                                                  and just for the record all my sites videos are in wmv format and I have been encoding this way for a very long time. I have over 250 hours of wmvs and my best site converts less than 1:100 most every day with wmv promo videos on the tour and on the FHG's.

                                                                                  WMV's are fine.

                                                                                          Mac users are a small percent of the overall granted, but why limit your sales options.

                                                                                          Ask yourself this simple question. "Would you like to increase your sales potential by 10 to 15 percent?"

                                                                                          If your worried about the bandwidth bill you've got other problems besides what format of movies to use.

I'd like to see at least a 100mb traffic spike on every gallery I submit to The Hun. Maybe even 150mb! That would be cool.

                                                                                                  Not.

TGP/MGP owners would have a hissyfit if you didn't submit mpg. a lot of the old ass scripts didn't know what a wmv was! some TGP/MGP owners are still behind in the times. things might have changed though. what are experienced movie submitters seeing as the best way to get listed?

                                                                                                              10-15% of web users are not on Macs, and Mac users can install the WM player anyways.

                                                                                                              I'd say 1% maybe 2% at the most have issues with wmv. There will be issues with any format. believe it.

                                                                                                              With wmv format you can deliver the same quality as an mpeg in almost half the file size, and when your dealing with promo trailers that is important not only for B/W usage on your end but for the user experience on the consumer end as they can load and play the clips faster. Especially for the slower broadband users that might have a cheap shitty dsl or isdn line. Dialup users it makes an even larger impact as it dramatically reduces their download time to view the same length and quality clip in wmv versus mpeg.

                                                                                                              Why would you want to make all those people (98%) download all that extra data in mpeg format just because 1 or 2% of the people have issues with wmv. That doesn't make sense.

                                                                                                              and just for the record all my sites videos are in wmv format and I have been encoding this way for a very long time. I have over 250 hours of wmvs and my best site converts less than 1:100 most every day with wmv promo videos on the tour and on the FHG's.

                                                                                                              WMV's are fine.

I prefer MPEG-1 all the time, because its more comfortable to watch.
