  - Torrenters (in your example), typically put Divx or Xvid (which are MPEG-4 video derivaties) inside AVI because it has great compression ratios -- nm - oblique Jan 7, 09:45 3
    - yup. mpeg-2 is much bigger comparatively -- nm - decline Jan 7, 09:48 2
      - It's still my format of choice on my MythTV. Never have audio sync issues when transcoding to it using Nero, even with AC3 audio tracks - oblique Jan 7, 09:49 1
