What is the encoding that you are selecting?

My two favorite formats right now are QuickTime and FLV (Flash Video).  Both
seem to work across platforms without too many problems.  For those who have
a resource on campus that can handle Windows Media content, then that can
work as well, but I would also offer the content in one of the other formats
as well (QT or FLV).

The man you want to thank is Joe Humbert.  Give him a pat on the back if you
see him at CSUN.
 
 
Take care,
Sean
