[QUOTE="Tech Geek, post: 41107, member: 18181"] If you want the smallest files or the best quality for the size then H264 is best. Compared to XViD or DivX files can be up to 40% smaller for similar quality. However, it takes a fast CPU or a newer ATi or NVidia video card to even play it due to the complexity of the format. It also takes hours to compress a single hour of video but ATi has already demonstrated tools to speed up compression using a GPU and I'm sure NVidia is working on it as well. Between XViD and DivX... they are about the same. One is open source and the other commercial. Frankly, I use XViD just so I don't have to see the DivX logo on all my videos. You'll have to decide what format you want the audio in. AC3, MP3, etc... [/QUOTE]
