I've been testing in Windows 7 without QuickTime installed to see how
video and audio files work in a player object. Some formats that work
fine in WMP will not work in LiveCode. The same files that fail in
LiveCode also fail in the preview panel in Explorer. But they do work in
WMP itself.
Hi Jacqueline
If you don't need streaming you could try MPEG-1 video files.
When compressed properly they are relatively good quality, just a bit
bigger filesize-wise compared to MPEG-4.

Do you mean Codecs? To answer your question, yes and no. If you never use WMP,

It's been a long time since I dealt with this, but last I checked, MPEG1

As Mark said, file extension doesn't always correspond with the encoding

played, then you should have no trouble.
Jacque,
The best is always to test different outputs formats in using MPEGStreamclip

features) and QT 10 (m4v outputs). MPEG1 and MPEG2 are mainly reserved to TV
broadband outputs, not featured as web dedicated. Sure

As far as serving video, my experiments have shown that it is often better
to use a service that does it for a living, like Vimeo, than to depend on
one's own servers. $60/year buys up to 5 gigs of video a month. Far better
than youtoob.
And if one ends up using a browser for displaying video
MPEG-2 isn't really an option. Only systems that have DVD-ROMs, and DVD-Video
playing software, would be able to play MPEG-2. In the Windows world it's not
unusual for people to find illegal ways around that, and on Mac you have the
option of buying the $20 MPEG-2 playback component, but
VLC is also apple-scriptable.
