I need to make short little movies for psychology demos quite often. Naturally I just use Quicktime, but often I get readers complaining they can't see the movies. Here's an example:

Cognitive Daily Post

It seems to me that anyone who has the latest quicktime should be able to see these, but perhaps I'm excluding more people than I think. Is there a trick to saving quicktime movies that will enable more viewers to see them? Anything else I can do?

Any and all suggestions are welcome!

I've found the easiest way for me to make movies accessible to everyone is to convert them to .flv (flash video).

If you don't want to do that yourself, then put them up on somewhere like youtube.

The downside to flash is the compression rate is usually pretty bad. If you are very worried about the quality and look, flash is not the way to go.
