    Best Output format for streaming to a Windows PC

    Posted by Joe Murray on December 22, 2007 at 10:05 am

    Hi,

    I am delivering some rushes online for a client to view.
    I normally encode them as QT H.264’s and stick them up on my idisc.
    Unfortunately this corporate client does not have QuickTime installed and is not allowed
    to install it on their computer by the IT Bods. (??)

    So what is the best format that I can output that will playback on a bog standard PC
    Using Windows media player.

    I have an hour of rushes so it needs to compress well.
    Flash is out as I do not have the encoder and dont know hot to deliver if I did.

    Many Thanks in Advance
    and a Yo Ho Ho

    I’ve had some luck getting some of my PC people to view a Quicktime Convert in MPeg4 and viewing it WMP. But Flip 4 Mac is the best.
