Is WMV possible in Rev

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi RJ,

I have Flip4Mac installed and can play WMV files in Revolution,  
running on a Mac with Mac OS X. The best option for cross-platform  
compatibility probably is avi or mpg. These formats can still use a  
variety of encodings and you will want to make sure that the encoding  
is available for all platforms.

You could also write a script to detect the encoding needed for your  
files and present a dialog with information about where to get the  
necessary plugins. You could help your users by providing them with a  
direct link in the dialog that opens the correct web site.

Best,

Mark
