irish: are u guys converting the videos into divx or just compressing them more? wmv is pretty compressed already compared to svcd or vcd. how much quality are you losing in the process?

Ano has to have the coolest looking equipment i've ever seen.

personally i think zoom player is pretty ugly but you can d/l skins for it.

i like droudi which you can d/l here

just extract the files to (assuming u intalled zoom player into the default directory)...

C:\Program Files\Zoom Player\Skin

to change the skin: right click in zoom player where the video plays and choose skin selector and pick droudi

you can d/l more skins here if you don't like that one.

we are just using windows xp movie maker to change the sample rate.

Right now, I get the high quality at 768kbps right off my camera. We have experimented with compressing to 384, 128, and 56. I think we have decided to go with 128 for our low bandwidth solution.

I believe DivX and WMV both use variants of mpg4 compression. However, the WMV codec seems to work for most people. DivX requires a lot of people to download the codec separately.

Thanks for the other links!
