Am hearing a lot about mpeg 4, expecially since introduced of Vegas 6.0d.
I do some video for websites and I have been using .wmv files.
Compared a .wmv file with the project rendered to mpeg4.
.wmv file was 2 MB smaller.
The quality seemed about the same.
Now, I am no techie, but could someone help me to understand the hoopla surrounding mpeg4.
For my purposes file size and quality are primary concerns.
Always a trade off.
End user doesn't want to wait for download and video should look and sound pretty good.
.wmv seems to achieve that for us.
Am I missing something.

It's better (imo) than the regular QuickTime codec, but only the newer players will play it. (And by newer, I don't mean v7. v6 likes it too, as far as I know, so it's only the 17 folks who haven't updated in a loooong while who might have trouble.)
