Default Video Format and Player
Just looking the pick a couple brains! If you were putting video content on a website what format would you use. I am looking for the best quality at the fastest download speed. I normally go with it .wmv, opinions?

Also, any video players out there that I can add to my site? Or even a guide how to create one. Remember, I am a .NET head!

wmv is MS specific and may not play nice with other OS

yeah I would go with ffmpeg converter and encode to change the file to .flv and then use a swanky flash player to play the video file

This seems to be the option of choice lately and it makes so much sense. No need for any other plugin!

Thanks for yer help. The problem I have regarding the player is that my client uses video files in the format .wmv and sometimes .mpeg. They are kinda stubborn and dont want to change from this. So any players out there that would work with these formats?
