Thanks for all the responses. The audio/video files will be prepared by my client and served over the internet to customers. We have control over the format, the names, whatever is needed.

The catch is that the people who will be viewing the media can be on any computer, often one they don't own (i.e., student labs, coffeeshops, their neighbors, etc.) and we can't require any software installation. The app itself will almost always be on a thumb drive.

No software installs means the media can't require QT, any special codecs, etc. Whatever is the lowest common denominator is what we have to use. For Macs I can depend on QT but for Windows users I can't.

If the decompressor or codec can be shipped with the app then that may be something we could do. But I always thought codecs were installed into the OS, and we can't do that.

I'm pretty sure my client, who is an audiophile, wouldn't be happy with MPEG-1. So I'm open to suggestions.
