More about audio-video

[Pierre Sahores]

Jacque,

The best is always to test different outputs formats in using MPEGStreamclip (-> Windows formats), Handbrake (MacOS X / Linux formats), QT7 Pro (see export features) and QT 10 (m4v outputs). MPEG1 and MPEG2 are mainly reserved to TV broadband outputs, not featured as web dedicated. Sure you will find your way ;-)

Best,

Pierre
