Maybe I am baised. I did try one of these codecs one time. (I really 
can't remember whether it was DivX or Xvid, but it was one or the 
other.) I found that no matter which settings I changed, it was 
absolutely impossible to generate a video that didn't look horribly 
compressed. There seemed to be billions of settings, but none of them 
would improve the image. Everything came out fuzzy and blurry 
(especially anything blue), and there were lots of ugly blocks 
everywhere, and it just looked a mess.

Since apparently every other user on the planet doesn't have any of 
these problems, apparently I'm just too stupid to work it out...
