Most requested video compression formats?
What have you guys found? I know Mpeg-1 is popular and will continue to be popular (pretty much the Mp3 of video, there's better, but it's globally used and accepted).
What else is popular? Wmv? Divx? The old .avi ? Cheers, Matt |

Well
I have done video edition for a lot of paysites lately and I mosty convert from mpg and avi to wmv because that gets a file 75% smaller than the original one, and its played by windows media player without problems. Some of them have both wmv and mov files, I think the other formats are quite old fashioned and burn more than double of bandwidth, not counting DivX, but most surfers dont have the DivX codec installed, so I dont use it. Hope that helps Greetings ![]()

Windows Media Player is the number 1 format on the internet. Divx is making a play for space and Mpeg is still holding strong. Our money is on Microsoft.

wmv 75% smaller than a well encoded mpeg-1 of similar quality? I don't think so.

u still can't avoid the fact that surfers by a landslide favor MPEGs and many of them ONLY want MPEGs.
i wouldn't have a video site without offering MPEG as one of the options. personally I love WMVs, very good quality at smaller file sizes than MPEG-1.
