    Does anyone know of a good codec that is viewable by the masses (a.k.a. the average windows user) I have been making sorenson 3 quicktimes with QT7 and for some reason windows users are having trouble opening them… Any ideas?

    Yes indeed!
    The .wmv can be viewed on just about any Windows system. We use the format for internal approvals (it renders quickly, is a small file size, and looks good) as well as external client approvals. The quality is good enough that lower third CGs are readable, and the audio quality can be set to a good quality level, without breaking the bank with bandwidth. There is a pretty large set of choices in the AE templates, from streaming formats to downloadable ones.
