Well, ill give it ago when i get home.. it's an old monitor anyway

LOL, just found out HD resulutions have you?

Yeah, they are awesome, and I can't wait until HDTV is introduced here in the Netherlands.

I think he means HD as in High-Definition. Quicktime.. yuk. Unless they've implemented H.264 encoding into their files, I'd take that over QuickTime files any day.

However it's quite sweet. Except for 69.3MB at 50kb/s on an 8mb connection isn't what I was expecting :-\.

Further to the above, there's a 1080p 89mb version on the Apple QuickTime site. It lags my PC to play it... I guess I need another new graphics card. (One with onboard HDTV decoding). Of course, it could be that Apple didn't bother making QuickTime for Windows use DirectX...

What's with the Quicktime bashing?

IMO .mov has far higher quality than standard .wmv and you won't see any .mpeg trailers.

The format isnt what is to be bashed though, it is how quicktime (the player) implements itself into everything and how it is just not incompatible enough to crash. If you have another player which supports the quicktime format than use that instead.

i tried it in vlc first, and it lagged even worse than quicktime

the vlc team needs to work better at quicktime and realmedia movies :/

From what I gather, both Realmedia movies haven't had their specifications released, hence it's harder to make a playback mechanism for them.

Quicktime uses a very complicated way of storing movies as well, although it's specifications (I believe) have been released to the MPEG group.

As to codecs... I use Xvid. It's got a lot of backing out there... primary because the encoder is free. (Which is probably why it's used by a lot of "shady" groups on the internet.) I used to use WMV when I made movies with Windows Movie Maker (I *know*... )

Quicktime really does die for High Res videos for me. I'm gonna download Quicktime alternative and give it a bash.

(Oh, and we're not really going off topic, there really wasn't a proper topic to start with ).
