You've just reduced your potential audience to a slim number.

What is it with the urge for people to convert pictures and
video to formats other than what they were taken in? What's
wrong with JPG? or AVI? or MOV? Nope. That's not good enough.
It's got to be converted to PDF, or PPS, or flash, or shockwave,
or one of the dozens of other formats that are the fad of the
week that by the time people manage to find a player to view
them, is no longer in vogue. If file size is an issue, these
formats are already compressible - just re-encode them with
increased compression for web use.

BTW, this rant was not directed specifically at you, Stubby.
