Which video file format do you use? There are a multitude of available formats for video information. Here is an admittedly short-sighted list:

• MPEG – i.e. MPEG-2
• AVI
• MOV
• MP4 – i.e. MPEG-4

The decision as to which format to use may be dictated by the hardware and/or software that you are using. However, more and more software is able to support multiple formats. It can get rather confusing. Each format has things that they do well and things that they don’t do so well.
