    You need to give more information if you want help.

    How long is segment, what size do you need it to be. Generally H.264 gives you the best compression but the viewer would have to have QT 7 or the newer Media player loaded on their machine.

    Yeah, the big three are H.264, Windows Media 9, and Flash 8. It’s the details that will kill you. Maybe if you post more specifics about the running time, the purpose, and the intended audience, you’ll get some tips. You’ll also want to search around a lot in the Compression Techniques forum (Cow). When it gets to the details of compression, they are real smart over there.
