the video is .avi. I compressed it into a dozen different formats. But
none of them keep the non-moving backgroun image clear. I am demoing my
software product. And most of the time only the cursor is moving. I
would expect to be able to compress this very much without losing the
detailed resolution of the screen. Real Player was the best I found
(7:1 reduction in file size but the background screen was still fuzzy).
I would like to be able to stream a 30 minute video demo and it not be
too large of a file download. I would like to use a format that does
not require a custom player like Real Player. Any one know a a great
compression algorithm for a streamable Software Demo????

Thanks


30 minutes!! Thats gonna be a big file regardless. In order to get it to a smaller file, you have to squash out detail.
