Benefits of audio MP3:

• interoperability- you can play MP3 on literally any device;
• smaller size- 12 audio tracks have in total about 40MB.

• easier orientation- you can instantly check on display of your device which monument we are talking about;
• more information- tracks include also the extra pictures for better illustration- portraits of people described, pictures from interior, etc.

Drawbacks for MP4 are obvious- there is only limited number of devices which can play these files- we have them currently optimized for iPhone and iPod (using H.264 video). You may check if your device supports it by downloading the Introduction file offered for free. Even then there is still a chance- slightly more technically skilled users can easily convert it to its  special format (like 3GP for Nokia or wmv for Windows portables) using the video converting SW. We recommend free MediaCoder for this purpose.
The MP4 files are also slightly bigger that pure audio. Our 12 tracks  have about 60MB (tracks ranges from 4-6MB) but this is should not a practical concern for you given the benefits you get with video.


And do not forget, we did not want to make a documentary movie! You will be on the spot in real time having a real experience which is much nicer than any virtual reality. Hence you should look around and not be fully occupied with watching tiny display of your portable device. Purpose of our video is to better illustrate the Bratislava story. Therefore the video track consists of static pictures and maps as you can see also on the sample published on youtube:
