What are the different formats?

480p is the nickname for Standard Definition.

720p is the nickname for High Definition at 1280x720 pixels.

MPEG1 was a widespread standard when we began creating loops and is still a good option for those running presentation software on Windows PCs. Macs have the ability to play these movies but performance can vary widely.

MOV is short for QuickTime Movie. This format is higher quality with a smaller file size; however, QuickTime Movies are standard on Macs and may or may not play back on Windows PCs. Software like Media Shout and EasyWorship must have an extra 3rd party codec pack installed. This codec pack is called K-Lite.

What format is best for me?

If you are using a Windows PC with something like Media Shout or EasyWorship, the MPEG1 files might be best for you.

If you are running ProPresenter on a Mac, you should probably download the QuickTime MOV.
