Ok I just spent the time to do an image quality vs. compression test with all of quicktime's supported codecs and DivX. I think we all know the benefits of DivX well so I will leave that out of here. The codec that had the least artifacts, ailiasing, and other unwanted stuff while still having a very manageable file size was, in fact, the video codec. I urge you to try this experiment yourself. You should be pleasantly surprised by its performance. As for audio, I would like to hear some of your expert suggestions on that. Usually I would do PCM due to lack of expertise.

The Video Codec is a very old codec, it was primarily used 5 to 8 years ago. Its kind of obsolete. The best Image Quality to kilobytes/sec ratio is either MPEG-4 or Sorenson 3.


If you see the picture I recently posted up on top, If you click settings, you get another window giving you a bunch of options like quality, fps, etc. If you put those to Max qualities, you will see a much better picture, and also a higher bit rate.

DIVX is ok, not great though. It is a variant of the MPEG-4 Standard that does not comply with the ISMA (Internet Streaming Media Alliance) standard. The only reason DIVX took off, is because of its the #1 format for P2P networks for downloading DVD's.
