What format should I make my video tutorials?

Hey Guys

I have been working on making a couple of video tutorials for use on my website and I was wondering if anyone has any experience doing that.

What I'm mostly concerned about is what format I should make my video in.... MPEG-4...Quicktime...WMV...Flash.

I know MPEG-4 has the better quality but I dont like the fact that you have to wait for it to download before you can start watching it.

Also, I have my video set at 640x480.

Any thoughts you have would be great!

Thanks!

Hi Dennis,

It should be Flash IMO. That's the most cross-platform and cross-browser format and its embedding routine is also straightforward. Sure you could also try to embed QT asmost PC users have a plugin for that.
