I need to compress some video clips for download online, maybe some streaming too.

Whats the best software for doing this in?

emil · 30-05-2005, 08:04

flash? I am not sure, though

You mean what video codec?

Perhaps QuickTime or Real for streaming. I would say Divx or Xvid for downloadable - those would be AVI files, though - I think you'd just use a standard video editor to encode them.

Flash would be good too - for streaming video...

The majority of compressed video clips are in .wmv format, for the small file sizes and still retaining a certain amount of quality.

Windows movie maker can do this for u easily but if u have it then i would use after effects due to its advanced options...

WMV would work too.
