what is the most compressed video format that i can use and still enjoy the video i compressed? i know there are alot of types out there but i want the best one for compressing videos so i dont have to have like 20thousand dvds to hold my videos if you know of any high compressed vidoe formats pls let me know thnx
Well the best format i think in my opinion is .avi, and the best program for compression i think is winavi.
It all depends on your hardware. Are you going to play the video on your PC? If yes, then I think a very good codec to use would be H.264. Excellent quality. You can get very good quality with Divx/Xvid also. As for Winavi being "the best"...some people might have a different opinion. I for example think FairUse Wizard is an excellent free program. http://www.fairusewizard.com/lang_en/fairuse_wizard_dvd_divx_xvid_backup_tool_light_edition.html
is the h.264 a good compression ? i am tryign to get more than 10-15 videos on my cds and i find that my current avg with ogg/avi/or most other codecs are 24 (i use 4g dvd+r's)
