I would second that.. but.. that is an Underdeveloped version of DIVX... although i do prefer it.. I dont like to use it for Uploading, not everyone has that codec, its not small enough, although the quality isnt that bad on it... but for final encodes for the org.. i prefer DivX or Xvid... but I'd Download it anyways

The Quicktime and Quartz Extreme technologies are two good examples. I'm not saying this is a bad thing; there certainly exist good reasons why they aren't open.

You said it yourself, those are critical parts of Mac OS X that are way ahead of the competition. I understand they want to protect such industrial secrets!

I prefer Mpeg-1 for my videos
and when it comes to an AMV anything except RM if its encoded nicely

I have seen Lovely Quicktime Encodes (I usea that for when I store HQ versions of newer vids in both the Avid and the Sorenson3 Codecs)

.AMV? doesn't like MPEG? Well that's odd, especially this AMV... thing.

I've seen 2 vids using .amv... you had to rename them to .avi because their server didnt allow .avi files... pretty crummy way to upload if you ask me

I prefer to download amv in divx , non-VBR mpeg1/2 or wmv. the latter three can be played smoothly on my home dvd player

OK, so it isn't a format/codec. phew.

Of the formats I've come across, the two I tend to avoid are WMV and RM. It's not because there's any technical problem with playback; it's just that the videos I've watched in those formats have mostly been low quality (visual as well as editing quality).

avi and mpeg for me, avi xvids are nice. I use both macs and pcs so when I download I can pipe it to either to get best playback. and to upload I pipe my uncompressed to pc and cram it into a Xvid avi
