AVI codec list by WDZ on 10-05-2005 at 05:57 PM
What's the best AVI codec in terms of quality, compression, and compatibility, excluding DivX/XviD? When I encode an AVI, there's this dodgy list of codecs to choose from...
Cinepak Codec by Radius
Indeo® video 5.10
Intel 4:2:0 Video V2.50
Intel Indeo(R) Video R3.2
Intel Indeo® Video 4.5
Intel IYUV codec
LEAD MCMP/MJPEG Codec (VFW)
Microsoft H.261 Video Codec
Microsoft H.263 Video Codec
Microsoft RLE
Microsoft Video 1
VP60® Simple Profile
VP61® Advanced Profile
I think all of those were included with WinXP... which should I use? O_o

Why not use XviD?

AFAIK most people (especially the less computer-literate ones) don't have DivX/XviD codecs installed. Correct me if I'm wrong... I'd be interested in seeing some statistics...

ah right.
I'd go for Microsoft H.263 Video Codec, it sounds standard

quote:AFAIK, WMP10 downloads codecs if they aren't installed. I think those get downloaded, too.
