what is the best codec for encoding movies.

i heard xivd, then divx, what is right


what is the BEST?!?!?

help please.
 
xvid= X V I D
divx= D I V X

notice a pattern?
i dont know why they reverse it...
but i do know, its always xvid on items of questionable legality ;)
 
i am encoding kill bill 1 and 2 and napoleon dynamite to go onto a 1gig sc card

something like 200 mb for each.
 
I like Divx. it seems to produce the best quality to me, for the smallest size.

The only downside is, you need to download the codec on other peoples machines to play movies back.
