    H.264. There are several data rate option presets in Compressor.

    You will have people hating you if you email them a large attachment at it will cause them problems with accessing any of there email.

    Just post it online and send them a link.

    Thats a good idea. Your client can download the original file.
    I use Vimeo instead of sending things by FTP or e-mail.

    Hi All and thanks for the great information and advice

    as to file format whats best to keep it as a MPeg-4 or something else, when l have used FTP for work its always MPeg-4 but is there something better for Web sites and also the Web site you have all mentioned?

    I have been told Flash but l have no idea about web design and programs with whats works best???

    Example’ Export FCP Edit as Quicktime to Compressor and output as???? or do l have it all backwards

    last questions promise

    Keep this simple. If it’s an HD project, output unsing quick time conversion in FCP. Use the Apple TV preset. This makes a nice, lowish and quick to encode 720p file which will play nice with Youtube or Vimeo. I use Vimeo out of choice for client work. I embed these on my site, so there’s no bandwidth issues.
