[Xavier de Champs] “1. Is there a format, which will play with default installations on both OSX and Windows? “
If you want to cover ALL bases use MPEG-1.
[Xavier de Champs] “2. If not. I will make two different files, and label them OSX and Windows. But which format for each, taking into account the transfer speeds of a USB port. I would prefer to be able to play directly of the key, without the customer needing to copy the materal onto HDD. “
This is more about data rate than format check out the transfer specs of USB 2.0 and decide. I’d maybe do one WMV and the other would be H.264 MP4.
[Xavier de Champs] “3. Any other things I should worry about? “

[Craig Seeman] “I’d consider Telestream Episode or Sorenson Squeeze. “
Don’t bother with Squeeze IMHO.

It’s not a question of influencing what they are doing, it’s a question of asking them what they are doing and what they need to enable them to do it!
If I asked you to ‘fix this problem’, what would your answer be?
You haven’t even told me what computer system you have/use or what they use or what the video is for or what format of video you work with, what frame size, frame rate, data rate, PAL or NTSC etc etc etc
How am I ever going to even start to help you if you don’t give me any information whatsoever!

H.264 is a video codec. AAC is the audio part. Although you can wrap H.264 + AAC in AVI it’s not recommended.

[Susan Forste] “Perhaps it would be generally helpful to indicate some common codecs and the best way to convert? “
That’s like saying “perhaps it would be generally helpful to indicate some common languages and the best way to translate between them”!

Which codecs do you which to transcode between?

Spot on Craig, as usual.
You really have to wonder why anyone would introduce a codec which is:
Lower quality than we are currently used to.
Slower to decode than we are currently use to
Currently unsupported
Not proven
Not ready for ‘prime time’
Full of patent pitfalls (Too much is copied from H.264 – Microsoft and Apple and the rest will have a field day!)
Currently ‘unnecessary’
Yet another format and wrapper (MKV)__________________________________________________________________

I wondered how long it would be before there’d be a post asking about this overly hyped ‘new’ ‘format’.
I think this article sums it all up perfectly.

If you can’t be bothered to read it all, skip to the summary’s at the bottom of page.
