I've put thought into it, and I decided to start making our videos in both WMV and MOV format, so both Windows and Mac users can watch the streaming media (or download it) quicker (I've had complaints from a few people saying they can't watch our WMVs unless they download and open it in Mac's windows media player)

So my question is, whats a good program for creating these, I've made a set in premiere, it took awhile (longer then WMVs) to compress, and the max quality I can get seems to be 320x280. Is there a good plugin to add more encoders? Or is there a compression format that runs on both PC and Macs easily, and isn't huge (AVIs are nice but they are also rather large)

Try making wmvs and well compressed mpegs.

Use Xvid or Divx... much smaller and looks far better.

You can get info on it from www.divx.com by the looks of it xvid is getting abit better now. But I think thats only in size.

Thanks, I'll try both and see what seems to work best.

I get a lot of response from Mac users that they can't play DiVX/XViD or even plain AVI files. The only thing that works on every computer with default media players so far, is an MPEG file. If you can export/convert it to a VCD or SVCD, you'll get a relatively small MPG file with reasonable quality.
