Hi all, I am getting nowhere with this thread:
The CAFE � Hardware/Software � Help needed deciding on Video Format for Instructional DVD Project...
which is all about my effort to complete a DVD project that has video files that must play on XP machines, where the videos are being created on a mac using QT encoder (PremierePro). I do have Episode/Compressor, so I can change the encoding to anything I want, but no so happy with the .wmf results. Is there an alternative, or is that it? Thanks!

Why can you simply not burn it off as a real DVD so it can be played on just about anything?

Is there a problem with using a conventional DVD for your application? I would think that would be the most straightforward way to go about the whole thing...
