    I make videos for youtube.

    I also like to let people download my videos and I want to offer them many options.

    What formats should I offer them in?

    My current list:
    • .mp4 - 480x320 for iphone/itouch
    • .iso - burnable DVD format
    • .mkv - low file size for GREAT computer quality
    • ???

    I try to keep the formats under 150 MB (so they only need 1 download link to download from my current file host).

    How/What else should I offer and, if you can provide it, the dimensions of said format (like, if you suggest the Zune format, provide the dimensions to go along with that for best quality)?

    THANKS!

    .wmv - For maximum compatibility. Most, if not all portable video players that are no created by Apple play .wmv files. Not to mention that any Windows computer can naturally play the file.

    .flv format is more nimble and it is widely acceptable as the download video format.
