Ok. I am about to send a movie I made in iMovie HD to my entire campus, but the problem is H.264 does not work on every computer. Theoretically, if people update their quicktime to the newest version, shouldn't it work no problem?
I thought that was how this worked, but some people's quicktime was saying they had the newest version and they still couldn't play it...

you need QT7 (PC/Mac) to see h264
or VLC in its latest version...
but: h264 decoding needs a lot of "power", my reliable Cube450 can not handle h264 in acceptable quality... (stutters/single frame mode only  )

I had the same problem. This really blows
when you're making videos that nobody can
see -- not even some other Mac users.
It turns out that the solution is to install iTunes.
Apparently, iTunes installs more software for
viewing videos than the plain ol' QuickTime
installer does.

So what's a better format if your priority is that most people can see it without new software?

Sorenson 3 if you want to old school it. That's goes back to QuickTime 4 I think, and by now most people should at least have that.

Best part about it is that Quicktime 4 even runs on some of what used to be the higher-end 68k Macs. Though i wouldn't bet there are any of those kinds of people left who'd be willing to try watching a large movie on machines as old as that....... but then again, i'm always wrong.
