My guess is that using something like Theora would probably make the
video "less" easily available for most people on this list. IMHO I want
to use a format that is either supported in Windows, MacOS and Linux
"out of the box" or in any of the very popular and easily downloadable
players like for example VLC.

Hmmm, but now I see that Theora is supported by VLC... so perhaps it is
the way to go? Is it "better" than XviD?
