Right now everything I have is in Xvid, which I love. But there are
some nice things about Divx 6. It scales up to awesome quality
(comparable to Apple's H.264 some say) and awesome compression (even
smaller file sizes than Xvid).
Just to be picky--Apple had nothing to do with the development of H.264. As
stated in the wikipedia, the H.264 standard was "written by the ITU-T Video
Coding Experts Group (VCEG) together with the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts
Group (MPEG) as the product of a collective partnership effort known as the
Joint Video Team (JVT)."
Apple simply implemented the codec into QuickTime7.
If you had simply intended to refer to Apple's implementation of H.264, then
I apologize. I just hate to see Apple get credit for something they had
nothing to do with. :)
