Most laptops are fairly robust.. they should be capable of running movies for your company. Games, however, can be another story into itself. It all depends.

If you liked MPEG, try DiVX or XViD, the latter which is pretty good, provides much better compression and quality.

Jugstah,

Prior to me coming to the company they tried several laptops and compared them (sony vaio, compaq, IBM and dell). They found that the dells ran the best for the money so they only purchased the dells.

I just started playing around with video editing and don't know too much about it. Just got a copy of Adobe Premiere for windows but I have used iMovie and Final Cut Pro on Macs.

I heard of DiVX and XViD but know nothing about it. Know of any good sites with literature on it?

How do you do the quote thing on this site?
Use WWW.GOOGLE.COM and type in DiVX and XViD and see where it takes you.. there are a LOT of sites available with information on this... surfing a few of them will eventually lead you to what you're looking for.

http://www.digital-digest.com/index.html would probably be a good start... for most people too.

And to do the quote thing, look at the bottom of the poster's post, you'll see a button "QUOTE" click on that.
