I have never done this, but a client asked me to look into it...

what do you guys think is the best media type to use???

He is looking to put on several clips (approximatly 2 mins in length each) of interviews with students...

thanks for your input in advance...

I would either use Windows Media or Real Video. I haven't looked into this for a while but if I remember rightly, you can encode real video for free using real producer and host it on a normal http server, so that might be the best way to do it.

thanks a lot david! I will look into this!
