Movtar is a format written by Gernot Ziegler, one of the mjpegtools developers. It's not really a standard but works quite nice :-). It isn't a hackishly lib like quicktime4linux and doesn't have obscure limitations like AVI. Quicktime is based on Adam Williams' quicktime4linux, which is pretty much hackish and probably not 100% "official quicktime" compatible... AVI is MS' AVI with all obscure limitations. I don't know of any "new" AVI format, to be honest... Anyway, which one to use is all personal preference... The quality should be the same for all since we use the same codecs...
