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. -Mishehu
