More about audio-video

[J. Landman Gay]

Thanks for all the responses. The audio/video files will be prepared by 
my client and served over the internet to customers. We have control 
over the format, the names, whatever is needed.

The catch is that the people who will be viewing the media can be on any 
computer, often one they don't own (i.e., student labs, coffeeshops, 
their neighbors, etc.) and we can't require any software installation. 
The app itself will almost always be on a thumb drive.

No software installs means the media can't require QT, any special 
codecs, etc. Whatever is the lowest common denominator is what we have 
to use. For Macs I can depend on QT but for Windows users I can't.

If the decompressor or codec can be shipped with the app then that may 
be something we could do. But I always thought codecs were installed 
into the OS, and we can't do that.

I'm pretty sure my client, who is an audiophile, wouldn't be happy with 
MPEG-1. So I'm open to suggestions.
