have you got any other format like mpeg i cant play rm files i could go on about proprietory soft ware but i wont i know its free but it aint really loads of ad-ware in real takes up bandwidth even when not on and spies on you also changes all your files and is a general pain in the ass ok so i did go on a bit but its hard to stop when i get going
but id love to see the vid i thought the puppets looked briliant and i used to make stuff like that for nottin hill carnaval so i should know well done to all who were in the parade and who made the superb puppets and costumes
i would have liked it to have been mpeg but it would have been at least 60mb for something just about watchable. i dont like realmedia either, i use it to keep the size down, and realmedia 8 is also compatible with windows,mac,and linux. but i could do mpeg4 (*.avi) or windows media (*.wmv) :( , which would also be small
any suggestions are very welcome, as its difficult finding formats that are suitable
xvid is also very good, and mpeg4 compliant as well as open source. mp3 seems to be best for audio, since no-one has to download a special codec to hear it.
Scuse my ignorance of matters technical but how can I save this to file ? It keeps stopping to buffer when I try to play it straight so it would be better to run it from the hard drive or a disk would it not ?

1. I hear the complaints on file size for more open formats
but you can alter the bitrate and dimensions of the video for different file sizes
like you could do a 352x288 pixel version or a 160X140 version at a quarter the files size
2. mpeg4 divx is pretty good quality v file size
