    Whats your opinion on using wmv format vs. mpeg format for your vids?

    When I export as a mpeg1 then a 7 second video is 1.6 megs and that too much.
    If I so it as a .wmv format then its only 300 KBs which is way lighter and saves a lot of bandwith and download time.

    Do mgp's accept wmv formats? and do members say anything about trouble viewing wmvs?

    I use .wmv as a personal preference. The file sizes are smaller and they can be downloaded...which my members really seem to like.
    SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

          We also go with the wmv.

          Saves lots of space on the server and bandwidth, as well as the fact that the clients like them that way.
