I am creating a photo/ video montage on Adobe Premiere. Photos are jpegs, and there are a couple of videos in it too. I am planning to have it projected on screen, the kind you see in classrooms. What would be a good format to have the video encoded in? Appreciate your help, thanks bros.

If u intend to play from a msn pc or laptop use windows media video format or wmv format. Or else dvd is best.

Since you're projecting it on screen, I take it that you will be running from your PC. Video can be encoded in MPG, M2T, MKV, WMV, AVI, MOV, DV, MP4, VOB, FLV, SWF. In other words in any video format your PC can play. For me, my preference is encoding it in MOV because I'm running it on a Mac.
simply put. use the .mov container/extension, with the H.264 codec. also depends on what resolution your video is in. read below
Standard Definition, 720x576, >1500kbps, H.264, progressive scanning
High Definition, 1280x720, >6000kbps, H.264, progressive scanning
High Definition, 1920x1080, >9000kbps, H.264, progressive scanning
Note that the SD is in 4:3 while HD is in 16:9 aspect ratios. If you want 16:9 SD, go 1024x576 for the resolution.
personally I wouldn't use wmv codec, terrible compression quality. of course if you're worried the machine is not able to read mov, just download a copy of vlc and bring along just in case.
