AVI Mac Pc compatibility from After Effects
Hello,
just wondered if i produce an AVI in After Effects from a Mac, then can that same AVI run on a PC windows Media Player 9.
Am very confused about this and following compressions. As i need to also compress a 10GB file down as small as possible without quality loss. ~AE only has a few codecs to choose from, cinepak comes out with an average quality but i havn’t played with the bit rate as i dont know how. Yet if an Mac AVI doesn’t work on a PC media 9 player this is a pointless exercise anyway.
Could a H.264 Quicktime be played on a PC? would I have to download Quick Time player for a PC?
All and any help appreciated
Thanks
Charlie

QuickTime does not have a good selection of codecs for AVI. For that matter, Windows doesn’t come with very good AVI codecs either.
QuickTime is a much better choice, as Apple includes a wide selection of codecs. You do need to install QT on your Windows PC, but you should have it installed there anyway. 😉
