[MacDV] Re: Compression type

[sb]

H.264 is the codec, just like sorenson 3 is a codec. You choose H.264 in the
compression application (QT or Compressor, etc)

H.264 is very good for the web, that's what it was created for - to maximize
quality with the smallest file sizes.

That said, you need to know what your intended audience has - you might be
better off using WMP (Windows Media Player) if most/all your viewers are PC
people, or you might be better off with Flash 8 if you want to stream a high
quality video.
