    which of the two formats are better in terms of quality? I know that WMV has better compression than MPEG but that doesn't really matter to me. All I want know is who has the better quality in the end? I already google it and found no answer.

    Mpeg2 is DVD compliant. WMV is not, so it all depends what you are actually doing with the files.

    hey, I already saw that when I googled the difference between these two formats. Am not satisfied and needs more explanation and that is why I decided to post this topic here in afterdawn.

    Since seeing is believing why not try both and use the one that looks the best to you?

    For online streaming I really can't see it making that much difference, but I'd choose MPEG for compatibility reasons.

    Well, unless the site you wish to upload to has a restriction on files types, then my previous point still stands :)

    yea, there is no limit for the video size so I'll probably just choose mpeg eh?

    I was thinking for format wise, but yeah, MPEG sounds good to me.
