Uploading MTV and HBO segments, questionaire

Hey, I need opinions here, what's the best format for the vids to be uploaded in? Windows Media 9, Divx, MP43, or what other codecs would be best? For compatibility and quality, please.

And should I edit out the commercials?

(pss like my sig?)

do 2 formats: .mov and .mpg (divx codec) for those high speed internet personel and mov for teh 56k'ers

ya, damn you SmarterChild and your wity remarks *shakes fist violently and whips out the middle finger*

Anyone else have any opinions...?

i agree with Hex...

Yes edit them out. Waste of space. HBO wont have any.

K, so MOV for narrowband, DIVX for broadband, and how about WMV for both modem speeds, good compression there, with an easy variety for the normal downloader. This is, of course, with consent of the host. Can't have too much on the server at once...
