Why not mpeg? The mpeg format is compatible with both Windows Media Player and Quicktime and Real Player.

MPG sounds fine. I was just worried about space requirements on whatever server we use.

MPG is good too (as long as you use a fairly standard codec) and it's important to remember that Quicktime isn't really a file format as much as it is a method for playing back a whole variety of formats.
Just avoid .wmv is what I am saying, or make all the videos available as both .wmv and .mov.

Sesamekermie...thanks again for setting guidlines....for now I'll probably go with the post card format until I learn more about video (I have access to a digital camera but no sound with it)..... With that all I want is a basic idea what the puppets should look like... and maybe somebody should write a paragraph or two asa story starter and we can work from there......then some of us can get started while we look for a place to post this all.

Thinking about it, Flash video is probably the easiest, most bandwidth-efficient format since it's cross-platform and doesn't require codecs. I would be willing to encode Flash video for people if that's needed since I know not everyone has access to Flash video encoders.

Yippeeee!!! I got a digital camera for Christmas....And I can do about 15 minutes of video on it... now again probably not as impressive as what some can do but it is video with sound so....let's get going.... all I need now is a basic design for characters and someone I can send video to...Come on a new year is coming and we can make this project a fun part of it.....
