Comment Video hosting tip. (Score 1) 227

Hello. I work for one of a large stock video & rights management company. We deal with every codec/format that you can think of and after reading all the comments above I would suggest doing something like:

- Post the video on YouTube or Vimeo and include an ad or a slate sending people to a higher res version.

- Post a higher res version somewhere hosted. I'd reccomend using QuickTime, esp. the PhotoJPEG codec (great results, almost universal ability to view across QT versions and good file sizes with careful setting tweaking) and some sort of .wmv for the non-QuickTime crowd. Microsoft, I believe, has a free windows media encoder.

- Flash is also an option if you have access to a good encoder. I'd stay away from DivX.
