Hi, If i'm going to have a large movie streaming from a website which format would any of you recommend me using for 1) having the smallest file size and 2) for the most common;y used format which most people would already have a plug-in for? Thanks in advance, wired

wiredsj, I would reccomend using either the Windows Media Video format (*.wmv), or the Real Player 10 format (*.rm). I've used both, and am currently using Windows Media. To create Windows Media video, use Windows Movie Maker 2 (download from Microsoft), or to create Real Media Video, download the FREE Real Producer 10 BASIC from the following link... http://www.realnetworks.com/products/producer/ (Real Producer will only convert pre-created videos, and has several restrictions, but is overall a good program) I would play around with the quality settings to find the best match for you available web-space Good Luck!

Windows media player is almost on every computer that runs windows, unless its a linux promotion site, or a anti-windows site, windows media player is the best :-P http://excellhosting.net for all your hosting needs.

Thanks for the responses. I've done it as you've both suggested and it's working great! ciao, wired
