Digital Video Formats
Mpeg 2: A format that gives high quality, high data rate files. Supporting PAL/NTSC standards. Currently this format requires specific software or a hardware card fitted to your computer.

Mpeg 1: A format aimed at desktop applications, this gives good quality 25fps video at low data rates. It has a standard resolution of 352x288 pixels but can be viewed full screen without much loss of quality. It can be played back with software on both Mac and PC platforms.

Quicktime: As well as audio and video, Apple's comprehensive multimedia architecture can support text, still images, metadata, 3D and VR Media and URL links.
Through its use of many compression types or "Codecs" (software which translates audio and video between its compressed and uncompressed forms), video can be delivered anywhere between high data rate broadcast quality large screen resolutions and very low data rate small screen internet applications.
Quicktime files can be downloaded or streamed from an internet hosting server. A streaming file can be played through an internet connection in real time, eliminating any lengthy download time. These online movies can have multiple quality versions embedded, allowing access to users with different connection speeds.
Quicktime's own software is required to play back these files.

AVI: Aimed at CD-ROM use, Microsoft's first multimedia architecture has similarities with Quicktime. Windows Media Player is required to play this format.

Windows Media: (.wmv) These streaming files also have bandwidth scalability. The format has an advantage over Quicktime. Windows Media Player can communicate with the server in real time to give you the best quality by switching between the different versions embedded in one file. The format also supports metadata, text and the use of different codecs.

(.wma) Windows Media Audio could be seen as an alternative to .MP3 and for a given bitrate generally produces superior results.
MP3 is an audio format that uses MPEG layer 3 compression. This is a higher rate of compression than that used within MPEG1 and 2. The compression system is based on discarding audio frequencies undetectable by the human ear or low level information masked by louder sounds.

Real Video: RealNetworks streaming architecture also offers scalability and real time communication with the host for optimum quality. When used with the Realserver up to eight Video and audio tracks can be embedded into the one "SureStream" along with text and metadata.
