[OT] Understanding Codecs (was Re: .mov on Windows)

[Dan Shafer]

I have been doing a good bit of work with SnapZProX lately and I've 
been stymied by a problem related to the one in this thread.

So far, I have been unable to find any way to understand the specific 
codecs for sound and video compression used in the SnapZProX product in 
terms of:

1. Which are the best at compressing with minimal loss
2. Which are included as part of the QT distro
3. Which are likely to cause problems on Windows

Can anyone point me to a resource? I'll spend the time to learn this 
stuff but I've posted on a half-dozen message boards to no avail and 
searched with Google/A9 until I can't come up with terms to use for 
searching any more.
