I've found *.avi files compressed with either Divx or Xvid have the best video quality. *.mpg, *.mov, *.wmv etc. have lower picture quality and are much bigger files in my opinion.
yeah ^ what he said, I have the incredibles wma format and its 3.6Gig... the picture quality isnt exactly top quality and I have .avi Eurotrip which is like 1.4gig and its clear as
vid codecs, ex. - = .Xvid/Divx , .mpg , .(something, i dont remember them)
typically videos encoded with Xvid are the best.. thy can come in any container format as shown above. assuming the encoder was compident as his job. the quality of Xvid can be in any of those container formats, but knowadays i think pro rippers are using .MKV with Xvid for video, HE-AAC or .AAC for audio... .ogm with vorbis audio are realy good too. lots of times your also run into .ac3 being used for audio, i think cause its less lossy(maybe im not an encoder).
