We choose the Cinepak

Really?

Ever heard of 'google'?

I have no clue what the file is, but Cinepak was designed for compression when HD was not yet invented.

I used Cinepak a lot in the early/mid 90s for CD-ROM/multimedia video. But ya, it's from olden times. I wonder if you'll get the quality you want from a Cinepak file, regardless of the file size.

John, do you still have access to the archives? If so, what are the other file formats available? Some sort of MPEG-4 option?
