I think ideally AVI would be best.

Quinn,
Aren't AVI files quite large?

Mitch,
That was beautiful. I love watching other peoples' tanks - it's actually relaxing. When I look at mine I often end up thinking about logistics and maitenance and upgrades

Fish, it depends on the encoding. I tried with full frames (uncompressed) and the 7 meg MOV went to ~200 megs. However using a decent codec fixes that nicely. With RealVideo you might be able to get the video even smaller but it's not a popular format.

So, for people without Quicktime (hope you don't mind Mitch):

http://www.ckxu.com/quinn/1staquariummoviexvid.avi - 5 megs - Xvid codec, if you don't have it, get the Nimo codec pack from http://afreecodec.com/codec_pack.php before attempting to view the movie.

http://www.ckxu.com/quinn/1staquariummoviempegavi.avi - 15 megs - Shouldn't have to download any codecs other than the ones that you have with WMP.

I recommend downloading the movie and then viewing, not streaming.

Not at all...except when I run the AVI version, the quality isn't as good.
I prefer the quicktime version.

Yes there is a slight decrease in quality. I only tried two of about a dozen codecs included with my encoding software, others might have produced better results.

Teevee
You had better study up on those codecs hate to see your quality slip like this.
