Given the option of different formats I would choose MPEG. IMHO MPEG would
be better. (you could even burn VideoCD's then) With MPEG you could play
them on whatever PC-type box is common 5 years from now, when in my bold
prediction, nobody will know what RealVideo is. (At least MPEG has public
source to read the format, RealVideo is likely guarded at this time)
(Unless I just proved how little I know about realvideo's format - i
could care less about the streaming capabilities... give me the whole
thing everytime and I'll be happy. Force me to trust somebody to keep a
server up with the full feed hidden behind too many redirectors and I'll
be bitter)
(Plus the VideoCD option for burning would let you play them in a DVD
player - you'd get another 2% coolness factor out of the hack)
