As I said in an earlier reply in this thread, many of the specialist
programs for writing media files are available only for Windows and
often for Mac- but not always. You absolutely must have a Windows OS
computer for using some of these specialized programs. That is just
how the world is, and it just does not pay for a company to write
specialized programs of limited sales for OSs that are not used nearly
as much as Windows, and sometimes even MAC. However, once you have
encoded your media files, they will work just fine on web pages viewed
using any OSs that will support a player for the type of media you
use.
