  • Rendering for Playback on a PC

    Posted by Will Flowers on January 29, 2008 at 10:43 pm

    I created a video montage for a client (who uses a PC and doesn’t have quicktime). What is the best way to render out so that she can view and show on her PC. I can FTP, so file size isn’t a concern. I tried WMV but the quality is poor and from researching the forum, people say not to.

    Any thoughts or recommendations?

    Thanks,

    The best way to go is to give your client several options – there’s absolutely no way of guaranteeing what codecs they will have on their system (and chances are they’ll have fewer than you). File size should be seen as something of a concern, because I imagine your client doesn’t want to hang around waiting for downloads – plus less powerful machines will have big problems playing uncompressed footage.
