Some FFmpeg end-users wish to know which encoding modes will produce files

+<p>
+<h3>Testing Procedure</h3>
These tests were conducted on Friday, February 4, 2005 with the FFmpeg CVS copy
from that day. Also, the machine generating the files was an AMD64
computer.
-<P>
+<p>
The Windows testing computer is a Pentium 4 PC with a fresh install of
Windows XP with Service Pack 2 pre-applied. Windows Media Player is the
default, "out of the box" version installed with the platform. The Apple
QuickTime Player is v6.5.2, the latest as of this writing.

+<h3>Windows Media Player</h3>
The following command lines produced AVI files that were playable with
the default WinXP/SP2 installation of Windows Media Player:
-<UL>
-<LI><EM>ffmpeg -i <inputfile.ext> -vcodec msmpeg4 -vtag MP43 -acodec mp3 <file.avi></EM>
-<BR>
+<ul>
+<li><em>ffmpeg -i <inputfile.ext> -vcodec msmpeg4 -vtag MP43 -acodec mp3 <file.avi></em>
+<br>
This is the same as the infamous 'DIV3' DivX ;-) codec. However, if the
'-vtag' option is omitted, the 'DIV3' tag will be inserted by default and

-</UL>
+<li><em>ffmpeg -i <inputfile.ext> -vcodec wmv7 -acodec mp3 <file.avi></em>
+<br>
+use Microsoft WMV7</li>
+</ul>
Note that if you omit a specific '-acodec' audio coding format, FFmpeg
will encode MP2 audio by default. This also works with the default WMP.
-<P>
+<p>
Note also that MP3 encoding support is external to FFmpeg and must be
configured appropriately.
-<P>
+<p>
Another compatible format that WMP can handle is vanilla MPEG. The command

-<BLOCKQUOTE>
-<EM>ffmpeg -i <inputfile.ext> <file.mpg></EM>

will create a MPEG file with MPEG-1 video and MP2 audio.

+<h3>Apple QuickTime Player</h3>
The following command lines produced QuickTime files that were playable
with Apple QuickTime Player v6.5.2:
-<UL>
-<LI><EM>ffmpeg -i <inputfile.ext> <file.mov></EM></LI>
-<LI><EM>ffmpeg -i <inputfile.ext> <file.mp4></EM></LI>

+<ul>
+<li><em>ffmpeg -i <inputfile.ext> <file.mov></em></li>
+<li><em>ffmpeg -i <inputfile.ext> <file.mp4></em></li>
+</ul>
These command lines will produce MPEG-4 QuickTime files with ISO MPEG-4
video and AAC audio. Note that AAC encoding support is external to FFmpeg
and must be configured appropriately.

Another compatible format that Apple's QuickTime Player can handle is
vanilla MPEG. The command line:
