Choosing a movie setting for the Web

By selecting the right setting, you can ensure that your movie plays at a quality level that is acceptable, regardless of your audience’s connection speed. For information about choosing movie settings and the role Internet connection speeds play in choosing a setting, see Understanding connection speeds.
