I used to create everything in .mov only, however since almost everything ships with the plug-ins for .wmv and .mpg, and that is what is used on most MGPs, I now offer all three.

DivX is best for those on a shoestring budget on a site when it comes to size-to-quality ratio. Even though the mass majority of people will have it on their computers you will have the one or two fucks who are clueless about it, but if you are on a tight budget it may be necessary to sacrifice that 3-5% of people. WMV for safety reasons I guess. MPG/MOV, I would say no for a couple of reasons (MPG because of size-to-quality ratio sucks hardcore, MOV because I would think more people wouldn?t have a player capable of playing MOV?s than DivX). I would go with WMV + MOV I guess for great compatibility.

damonx · 08-15-2006, 06:28 PM

xvid and wmv

stickyfingerz · 08-15-2006, 06:30 PM

.wmv only, and .flv for your tours. .wmv works on just about everything. As a bonus maybe 3gp for cell phones, but imo thats a ways off.

There is Flash, and there is flash video .flv The quality on .flv is the same or better then a .wmv with a smaller file size. Google video? Veoh? youtube? all .flv vid. The thing with .flv is the member could only watch the video embedded and online. So you could offer that option, plus allow a download of the .wmv version. Yes there are .flv players out there that a user could have to watch the vid offline, but they are still rather buggy.

I use .flv for my tour, but I haven't been able to get the quality that I do with .wmv, although that may have something to do with only being able to do a single pass when using Cleaner to create .flv files (Cleaner crashes if you try to do two passes).

Think I use sorenson codec in premier 2.0 with good results, and dual pass. Icq me if you want to see a tour I did .flv trailers on.

i tried it with Swish and the quality wasnt coming out the same as the wmv. what format are you using as your source?

PornAddict · 08-15-2006, 07:54 PM

I voted for only WMV... since that's exactly what's inside my member's area. However, I do offer two version of them. One is a pretty kick-ass broadband version that's quality is pretty impressive considering the rather small file size. I also offer the same video but chopped into 4 parts and encoded in a size that's easier for dial-up users to consume.

wmv + divx

HighSociety · 08-15-2006, 09:09 PM

what about the one called real player?

Damian_Maxcash · 08-15-2006, 09:16 PM

I would say Flash - as the big video sites become more popular I think people will start to ask for it.

GoodGuy · 08-15-2006, 09:20 PM

wmv and mpg...

only wmv is not a good option... unless you want to lose members.

yea thats what i was thinking, always go with two formats to be on the safe side.

donross · 08-15-2006, 10:40 PM

yeah.. always go with two formats.. agreed on that one..

tony286 · 08-15-2006, 10:42 PM

I use wmv and mpeg4 for ipods. I would love to use Divx but it would confuse too many lol.
