<<QuickTime's file format has been selected as part of the MPEG-4 standard.>>

I think that this is one instance where the industry is ignoring MSFT's marketing muscle to select an obviously superior product for a standard.

I've made Micrososft AVI movies with a compression that get me down to no less than 50 megabytes. On Quicktime, I can get the same speed, image quality, and vastly superior sound synchronization on as little at 12 megabytes.

When you're talking about developing fast, high-quality audio-video on a multi-media database, you do not want your network slowed down by huge files. Also, with horrible audio synch on AVI format, you can view someone's presentation, but their lips will move and the audio comes a second later. It's like watching a poorly dubbed foreign movie. I've seen people laugh at CEOs broadcasting in this manner.
