1. Wrong forum.... *teleported*

2. AVI has the best quality if you set everything up properly. The downside is you are limited to special standlones or computer playback. MPEG2 comes in second followed by MPEG1

Praetor,

You're quite correct. AVI is a "Lossless" format. The others are compressed formats, so therefore "lossy" formats.

I would suggest that your source AVI file is perhaps of poor quality to begin with.

Clarification: AVI is lossless only if it is PURE AVI or is encoded using a Losslesss codec (huffyuv). Note that "common" AVI files that are downloaded etc, are lossy (using the MPEG4 codecs in most cases).
