I've lately went with wmv as it's good compression and works on any pc

*pops in a vote for MPEG, H.264 preferably*

.AVI, using DivX or XviD to compress it. Don't use the WMP9 codec please. AVI containers that have videos compressed in WMP9 won't play on Macs - or at least right off the bat. I'd actually vote for MP4 H.264 for top tier quality with good compression, but AVI files compressed with DivX and XviD are the most universally compatible.
Yeah, I'm a Microsoft user..... don't hate me. I also like WMV pretty much.
Of course using it is unfair to MAC and Linux Users.... Sorry about that guys.
WMV of course only capitalizes in the fact that most people (meaning everyone using Windows) can play it without any problems at all. It's decoding performance is ok I think (means the CPU load while wmv decoding).
Its encoding speed is pretty ok, too. You can get overall in most ways convincing results using WMV but I think WMV stands out in NO technical way AT ALL!
It by far does not offer best compression (I'm pretty sure) it doesn't offer the best picture quality/compression ratio.
Well, AVI is only a container format, guys. To say "my PC cannot run AVI for some reason" is a relatively bad statement. Your PC cannot run the codec which is in the AVI container, Max.
You could try figuring out which codec it is by using gspot. It's a tool. Search on google for it (website is something like gspot.headbands.com or so...)
MPEG 1&2 is very bad for fighting videos (we're only talking combo/match vids here, right?) because it has a very bad compression.
Sorry, this turned into me breaking down video formats I hope you dont mind.

I would say h264 for high quality but avi using divx/xvid is far more compatible with most media players. Also avi seems to be the easiest to convert to something else like mp4 or the PMP container for psp.
Blastrezz I definetly see your point about wmvs. Very basic and will run on any windows based system. My problem with them is whenever i try to convert one for my psp is just wont convert. I've tried a couple of different converters with no luck.
