I did some more experimenting with the video codecs. I was very displeased with the result from windows and various avi extensions (includng divx). When I tried the quicktime version 7 I was extremely impressed with the clarity and the small filesize. Compared to wmv, the file size was about 5% larger but 100% more clear. I opted for the clear looking video. Also, when I install quicktime, I don't see any adds, spyware or anything else of that nature. I feel it's quite safe.
