[formos]

i prefer xvid

XviD has more support, but I prefer the higher quality of h264. It might be larger filesize but it sure looks way better

Just to clear something up here, h264 is a more efficient codec than XviD/DivX. It qualitatively looks better than xvid at the same resolution and lower bitrates. Ergo, the file size would be smaller than that of the xvid if the two were at the same resolution.

I don't prefer xvid but it's the standard for me. I really like x264 but the releases are quite scarce, so I tend to download the odd one

well, for series like lost, i think xvid is the best choice as it is smaller in size, but it is the truth that x264 is the true hd format,xvid doesn't claim to be hd.also, x264 requires more system resources and is huge in size...
