For what ??
The best format of video to use for the job depends on just what "the job" is, doesn't it ?
P4 @3.20GHz on Albatron PX-865PE Pro II with 2GB DDR-SDRAM, FX5900XT video, Viewsonic monitors,

I blame it all on Global Warming / Global Cooling / Global Staying the Same [pick one]

Yes!
guess you are going to want more info…
DV AVI – uncompressed - fast to edit – lossless format
Downside… really big files.
MPEG – small files
Downside… compressed – loses quality if re-rendered a time or two - can suck the life out of an editor
You have to choose. If archival – DV AVI hands down.
If mundane, 10th ranked high school basketball warm-up game… mpeg!
