  Settings to compress for web streaming mostly PC users:DSL and dial-up

  Posted by Rosindabow on May 17, 2005 at 7:06 pm

  I have a three and a half minute piece that I am trying to compress to be used mainly on the web. There can be two versions, one for people with DSL and one with people who still only have dial-up. I have tried the typical codecs but my PC usr friends cannot open the file. They can hear the audio but not see the picture. What coecs work well. Give me a reasonably sized final file , will stream well, and download easily…by both Mac users and PC users?
  Thanks

  I had similar problems, when viewers somehow could not use anything with Quicktime. I found, and this is just me, the most compatible codec was windows media 7, via Media Cleaner. that codec, despite it’s flaws, can seemingly run, at fairly low bitrates on any machine made in the last 5 years, and can run on PC or mac. Probably not the only answer, but it worked for me.
