I can't believe that it has to be this hard!
Please,
What should I convert a short DVD (a black and white short film) ( on
my hard drive, the files are marked .vob) so that it is most compatible

for all internet viewers? I google grouped it for two days and couldn't

figger it out. What is the best software tool to do this??


What should one convert to, to get maximum comp[atibility with all
internet users?


convert to divx/.avi?


DIVX? ( which is, I believe, is many codecs wrapped together, right?)
to be opened in Windows Media Player?


A little .mov file? (Quicktime)


A Real media File? ( real media)

An mpeg 4 file wrapped in a Flash Movie


Gizmo Schlo's Feelgood Mc Media Player?


Here's what I did:


I converted the DVD ( .vob RIGHT?)
to an .avi file with Nero software and
I guess it made it an .avi file with the DIVX-codec-wrap file that some

internet users couldn't open. I put it up on my site with Dreamweaver.


AOL-ers could see it,
people with an all-around player such as the Video Lan Player
could see it.


yet some savvy internet friends couldn't make it open:


in Quicktime


or non-divx-codec installed machines?!


Or Firefox


For all I know, or (or don't know to be more precise) only Windows XP
users with the most up-to-date Windows Media Player could have even
seen it. It really shouldn't be this hard Mr. Gates, Mr. Jobs and the
countless code-writers and software
geniuses.


Thank you in advance for your advice and knowledge all friends and
newsgroupers.


Sincerely,


John Tully
