I use the h264 codec for high qualitiy high resolution videos from POV:

For Windows (and other OSs I guess) you can use a free program called x264 
to make them.

Or, if you don't like fiddling around with command line options (and there 
are *a lot* for encoders like this) there are plenty of GUIs around.  I 
often use xvid4psp as it contains built-in profiles for making h264 videos 
compatible with things like the PS3, xbox, PSP etc (it can be fiddly trying 
to find out exactly which command line options are needed to make a video 
file compatible with these devices).
