Hey, as some of you know, im seinding in a video to an art school as part of my profile, and i need to put it on a cd along with the photos of my portfolio...
What 2 ways of encoding video should i include on the cd to assure that they can play it on a PC.
I was thinking: Mpeg-2 and regular .wmv
Any other suggestions or ideas? |

| wmv is the most guaranteed format, provided the pc you are playing it on has a version of media player as new as or newer than the machine that did the ecoding :) |

What type of Avi though? Just the regular Audio Video Interleaved?
Because i know divx and xvid also use .avi |

which is why wmv is such a safe bet, you dont get various codecs using the same file extension, as far as I am aware, only the version of media player installed on your machine affects how the wmv is encoded.
ie. There is the chance of a wmv encoded on a machine with WMP 10 installed wouldn't play on a machine that only have WMP 5. |

Im using ImTOO Dvd ripper platinum. I was using a DVD camera to film it and when i extracted the files they came out in .ifo format. I need to go through and edit it and chop out the scenes i need, so im using the ripper to extract chapters.
(On a side note: any free/shareware basic video editors?) |

yep just that one, or .mpeg is a standard video file extension aswell. |
