- The video standard you pick will depend on two things; the quality
- you need and your hardware constraints. If you are just talking about
- "talking head" type video, then you can go with one of the software-
- only playback standards (like MS's Video for Windows). If you need
- higher quality, say to show a technician fixing some equipment, then
- you need one of the digital video standards with hardware playback;
- DVI, JPEG, MPEG, etc. For the highest quality (and cost) you will need
- a Videodisc. You probably don't need external TV's to display the
- video; unless you are need to display fine detail an overlay onto a
- 256 color VGA display will do just fine.
