I have a whole lot of .mov film and it's been suggested to me that I should transcode them into AVI as this would be the easiest format to share and good for large screens. Anyone think this is a useful idea?

Hi,

AVI
The AVI (Audio Video Interleave) format was developed by Microsoft.

The AVI format is supported by all computers running Windows, and by all the most popular web browsers. It is a very common format on the Internet, but not always possible to play on non-Windows computers.

Videos stored in the AVI format have the extension .avi.

MOV
The QuickTime format is developed by Apple.

QuickTime is a common format on the Internet, but QuickTime movies cannot be played on a Windows computer without an extra (free) component installed.

Videos stored in the QuickTime format have the extension .mov.

Better usage is AVI which supported in all browsers and windows environment.
