That's mostly down to lack of choice... Given the option I'd have asked for
the videos to be done in FLV - better quality and a pain in the arse to
copy (Move within a movie thanks to Flash, the end use may NEVER know where
to source video really is). Not that even THIS stops the movies being stolen
(which I personally don't care that much about... the quality is more
important).
Ideally I'd have WMV:HD, QT & FLV on garbage.com, but that's not up to me.
There's no war going on BTW :)

Nope, don't worry there's a big war going on at the moment. I'm
keeping my head down.
Particularly when it got onto video encoding issues as - apart from
being someone who was actually encoding Garbage videos from the TV (I
must be in G's bad books now obviously for taking revenue away from
garbage.com's video feeds :o)), well, my opinions on how crap Windows
Media and Real Streaming are for displaying videos over the web are
well known, especially as my day-to-day work involves video
encoding... I know that record labels prefer streaming as they daftly
think it stops copies being made (they've never heard of mplayer's --
dumpstream option then) but it also plays back awfully and doesn't
scrub whatsoever, particularly Windows Media which - if it plays at
all - decodes like a dog on anything that isn't Windows (no surprise
there). Unfortunately when people think video they think WMV and
Real. Apart from most promo directors though, who sensibly use
QuickTime - including Sophie Muller who makes the G videos these
days. Hopefully H.264 will get more people on board :P
Right, now to hide again...
Nice to see you back though Alan!
Cheers,
Ian
