Sorry if this is a duplicate - I had a PEBKAC moment...
Hi folks,
I'm not sure who caught sight of the article that was posted to slashdot
a few days ago about that Handbrake project dropping DiVX/Xvid and/or
the AVI container format altogether. There were a lot of comments about
how AVI is an obsolete container format and has all sorts of issues with
audio and visual sync, how it causes programmers endless headaches, how
it doesn't support chapters and subtitles, etc. As far as transcode
users are concerned, what are the preferred container formats for
generic audio/video content these days then? OGM? MKV? I have up to
this point been transcoding my mpeg2ts to xvid in an avi container...
perhaps I should use something a little more modern?
Thanks for the input folks.
