Hi have a client who sells a video online that I have ripped from her DVD. Right now it's in .AVI format, and then I zip it (so that it doesn't play when the customer clicks to download). A lot of people are having problems with the video not playing (because the DivX codec isn't installed). Does anyone have a better solution for the deliver of this video? Right now I have the purchaser forwarded to a download page after they pay with PayPal. The page contains a link to the zip file. Thanks.
H264 encoded. It's HD and the same file size as a much smaller non H264 encoded file. I believe Quicktime Pro will encode it, amongst other free tools like Cinerama and likely mencoder. It will play in quicktime for sure, and VLC and a lot of other players so they shouldn't have codec problems on any operating system. wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264 wikipedia.org/wiki/X264 apple.com/quicktime/technologies/h264/ hope this helps!
