    video format

    Posted by Quietleader on October 28, 2007 at 8:48 pm

    Can someone tell me what format to use that will allow universal viewing of a video on both Macs and PCs

    I originally thought mpeg-4 would be the best choice but I can’t get my .mp4 video to play on a PC. (perhaps special compression settings are required?)

    I have both Apple Compressor and Sorensen Squeeze, and my video will reside on a UBS memory stick. All I want is universal “playability” of my video regardless of the computer type or OS.

    Is that possible?

    Thanks!

    Mpeg1 will play just about anywhere.
