Topic: movie formats, have you encountered brickfilms that you couldn't watch

What do you, brickfilmers, use to distribute your lego stop motion animation movies, films?

Download: RealMedia, MPEG 1 or 2, WMV, MKV, FLV, MOV, MP4, OGG or others.
Video Websites: Own site, Youtube, others ?


Don't be afraid to tell why you're using that particular solution or have encountered brickfilms that where unwatchable because they asked for another extra codec that you didn't have/had.
How much brickfilms you have uploaded is also interesting, multiple formats also.
What solutions did you use?

I'm asking this because when downloading and trying to play brickfilms sometimes is frustrating. 
I got a lot of movies where I had to download extra stuff for or install an extra media player:(.

Ended with three media players (Windows Media Player, videolan and MPlayer) and an extra codec pack for RealMedia (RealMedia Alternative).

Are there other people who encountered the horrors of
not be able to watch a brickfilm on your computer that you really want to see.
And the review or something else about it looked so interesting, promising?



And can someone tell me how to make a poll ?
It would be easy to see the different solutions used, employed throughout the brickfilmers community.
And the shares, statistics of the solutions. (which is used most, ...)

I use Windows Vista.
(from 2006, back then it was crap. But now it's tolerable)

I have Vista on 2 different Laptops(Both family laptops) and they work perfectly fine.
