@Craig:
Yeah, I’ve been considering a lower quality download as well.
@Daniel:
In regard to the x264 Apple plugin, I’ve heard using it risks increasing compatibility issues with people who don’t have it installed in Quicktime.
I guess my primary concern still is, is it safe to assume, at least as reasonably possible, that selling video generated by something like Quicktime Pro, will run reasonably well for most people with the proper players and computer hardware?
Again, the nightmare scenario is some situation where I discover that thousands of purchasers can’t play the video properly (but should be able to) due to some unforeseen issue, and I’m stuck playing tech support or losing money on refunds.
Are issues like that common? Perhaps I’m just being paranoid…
