I have been working on a project and have put a few video files on the project page. I captured the videos as MOV files, clipped out what I needed and changed the file type to WMV files. I have noticed that some error codes come up, 206 as one example, for some folks. I have tried viewing the videos with FF and IE on my own computer with no problems. My question is, I know there are all types of video files...........is WMV the easiest for most users to view?<br /><br />The project page: <a href="http://www.giffsfarm.com/nestbox2.html" target="_blank">Wood duck nest box 2</a><br /><br />Thanks.............dallara<!--content-->
I had no issues accessing the video files. A more popular format would be MPEG (mpg).<!--content-->
Bruce, when you say "popular"............would you recommend that I should make future clips in the mpeg format? <br /><br />I will say that I don't really understand all the different formats, my biggest worry is making them too large or in a file format that would not be viewed by most. <br /><br />dallara<!--content-->
Well WMV is a Microsoft extension. MPEG is a universal format that generally all media players can play. If I were to produce video for distribution I would choose MPEG over WMV. But that is a personal preference.<!--content-->
Thanks Bruce........is there a freeware program that would change an MOV or WMV file into MPEG?<br /><br />dallara<!--content-->
