Best rendering format

[gunnerboy]

I am rendering a 19 minute project that will exclusively be viewed on PC's via a cd-rom. What's the best format? (mpeg,wmv,avi, etc.)

Thanks for the help.

Re: Best rendering format

mpeg is the most universal it can be viewed on just about any platform with alomst any viewer. Why limit yourself to just PC users?

The project is a computer based training module for a company that uses pc's exclusively.

Windows media provides excellent results (especially since the project is PC only).

WM9 will get you the most bang for your filesize. MUCH smaller than MPEG, and it blows up better.

I appreciate the advise. I ended up rendering to WM9. You are absolutely right.... more bang for the buck. Much smoother than mpeg 1. Much smaller file size than mpeg2. Client loved it. Thanks again.
