preferred playback format for digital files
What is the preferred format for digital file playback from sx4 4.8.2?
In the autopilot, force matrix, I tried a quicktime with h264 codec yesterday and mpeg 1 file with extension of .mpg today and got the following error "An error occured while forcing. Try again or check the system configuration.
could not determine the type of media contained in the file (mpeg, DV...)"

Inappropriate?Marcus,
A few things, MPEG1 is not supported, you can do MPEG2 with a .mpg or a .avi extension.
As far as the preferred format, it all depends how you are using the system. If you are going to be keeping lots of content on it for a long time, MPEG-4 makes a lot of sense, small files, but they take a while to create.
If you are going to have a lot of turn-over on the server and things are not sticking around for long, you can use MPEG-2, the files are a little larger, but you can create them faster than real time.
Hope that helps!
