I think ideally AVI would be best.

Looks good that zoom is amazing.

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 :frown:

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.

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

Sorry to let you down Monzino. :cry:
