They also won't use divx as there are many versions floating around and the older versions were hacks of the microsoft mpeg-4 codec. I doubt FIRST or Autodesk would support that. One thing that could be usefull, but prolly not practical, would be a FIRST or Autodesk webserver/ftp where the team could upload their uncompressed full frame avi's. Most shools would have a fast enough connection to do this (those files would be 1gig+). Or possibly even dvd burning, or smaller frames, or.... the list could go on and on.

Just for a clarification there is an offical ISA (Internet Streaming Allience) offical codec for MPEG-4.

Right now Quicktime 6 seems to be the only reader to read this, but WMP and Real said that they would include support for the ISA MPEG-4 Codec
