    I have to make a presentation that'll be on a CD read by IE 6. All I can assume about the PC's this'll be played on is that they are "administrative-type" PC's: Used by computer-challenged administrative types and setup by by the IT guys. So minimum capability, eh?
    I mean no extra codecs, no special tweaks, and so on.

    That said, I'm looking for a video format that'll be played by WinXP without any extras, with the highest quality and smallest file size (of course <g>). There are so many formats, and even variations on a format (X-DVD Ripper has 7 .avi formats!)

    Any pointers will be appreciated.

    Since XP includes WMP9, I would assume that it comes with WMV9 decoders. So I guess WMV is the way to go. For pure compatibility though, you really can't beat MPEG-1.
