Use Xvid. Its multiplatform, looks wonderful and is free.<BR/><BR/>encoding at 512x384 @ 800kbps would yeild a nice looking small sized video. I think this would be great, and would look nice on my Xbmc.<BR/><BR/>Whats that you say? Xvid doesn't come default on any platforms, and the user either has to install the codec or an application to get it? Look at your audience ;) they'll already have it, or can at least get the software needed.<BR/><BR/>All you need is VLC on every platform and you'll be good to go, its free and a great video player. Honestly, no one should really be using windows media player anymore, its an attrocious disaster of UI, and overly bloated to play one video file.<BR/><BR/>Check out VLC here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/<BR/><BR/>Good luck, hope the next edition is soon. ok, this is settled.

Whats that you say? Xvid doesn’t come default on any platforms, and the user either has to install the codec or an application to get it? Look at your audience ;) they’ll already have it, or can at least get the software needed.

All you need is VLC on every platform and you’ll be good to go, its free and a great video player. Honestly, no one should really be using windows media player anymore, its an attrocious disaster of UI, and overly bloated to play one video file.

Good luck, hope the next edition is soon.

Are there any good editing/authoring apps that support xvid?
