TalkingSoft.com Forums: Smallest file size - TalkingSoft.com Forums

I need to add a video clip to my website. The clip is about 6 minutes long. At the moment the clip is in the middle of a DVD. I first need to convert the vob files and the cut the resulting file so I have the clip. I need my website clients to be able to download the clip as fast as possible (I am an alternative therapist and the clip simply shows my clients some chinese meridian points on the body). So my question is when converting the vob files which will give me the smallest file size? mpeg, avi, wmv, divx etc The quality does not have to be high. I just need the end file on my website be a quick download.

JUst stick with Windows Media (WMV), quicktime (MOV) or real media (RAM/RM/RMVB etc.) since they are popular streaming standards on web. Clients will easily be able to view them with a plugin from browser or media player.
