Thanks Leo.
My main concern is with the compression, but this is just part of my overall
concern with distribution for potential clients i.e. DMDemo "songs" on my
showreel
I want to reassure them that DMDemo will not tamper with any system files or
folders. Can I do this and use mp3 compression without fear of the client
not being able to play it due to a lack of the decoding codec?
