    Hey Folks

    I make promo videos for pubs and I edit on FCP. Often the pub owner would ask me to email a sample. The problem is most people use PC’s and the win media player can’t play my preferred format MPEG4, so I’ve tried to export to MPG WMV and AVI with terrible results, often the file sizes gets very big too. Does anyone know about a good convertion software or do you have a specific method too export quality win readable formats? Any input would be great!

    What about using Flash. They probably have Flash player on their PCs. Or, there are a number of free F;ash/swf players if you Google. I make also make wmvs (you’ll need Flip4Mac to do this well), although bit-for-bit they’re quite inferior to Flash made with the On2Vp6 codec.
