Hi Jacqueline If you don't need streaming you could try MPEG-1 video files.
When compressed properly they are relatively good quality, just a bit bigger filesize-wise compared to MPEG-4.

I've been testing in Windows 7 without QuickTime installed to see how video and audio files work in a player object. Some formats that work fine in WMP will not work in LiveCode. The same files that fail in LiveCode also fail in the preview panel in Explorer. But they do work in WMP itself. I didn't test all types, just what I had on my drive. These work fine in LiveCode: .wmp .mp3 .avi -- doesn't really work; audio only, very poor quality These do not work at all in a player (or in the preview panel in Explorer.) They simply do not load: .mp4 .mov In the Media Player app itself, all the above formats play perfectly. I did not need to download any extra codecs, not even for .mov files. For the two that work in LiveCode, all player-related functions seemed to be okay. I could start, stop, get the duration, get/set the currentTime, etc. I didn't test any messaging, like callbacks. I need a video format that will play in Windows without QT. Which of the many others should I look at?
