>Well, I can certainly understand why clarity is lost with such severe compression. I'm looking into MPEG solutions. It appears that the MPEG format can be more compressed with less loss of clarity. Actually, I've seen some products on the web that encode/compress AVIs into MPEGs at very high levels of compression. Do you have any thoughts about this? Will I run into the same problem with clarity?
Did you check the format used by RealPlayer? I was surprised that the presentation used less space than a typical MP3 file (which is sound-only, but high-quality of course). MP3 takes about 1 MB per minute. I have downloaded a 3 1/2 hour presentation in RP format, which took about 120 MB. That's about 0.6 MB per minute.
