[MacDV] Re: Formats...

[Mark M. Florida]

Good call.  MPEG-1 is pretty much universal at this point.

If you want the best quality with the smallest file size, you could include
a QuickTime version (using the Sorensen 3 codec) and the standalone
QuickTime installer on the disc as well (kind of a pain downloading all
those installers, though -- for each platform).

2 cents.
