Video Formats

The videos presented on this page have identical content and time lengths. They are intended only to compare two of the most commonly used streaming formats: Windows Media and Flash.

Feel free to contact us with any questions about encoding media into any streaming format. We are happy to offer technical advice for all levels of experience. Discounted encoding services are offered for clients hosting media files with VideoHost.com, Inc.

WINDOWS MEDIA

The Microsoft Windows Media (WM) format remains widely used by virtue of the WM Player being the default media player on millions of Windows computers around the world. The more recent WM versions mix good quality along with strong file size controls. A WM Player is available for Apple computers.

FLASH

The Flash format has rapidly become very popular, with its chief strength being that it's cross-platform: it will open and play in most browsers and operating systems. The Flash Player must be custom designed, usually within SWF files that reside on a web server.
