    So many stupid video formats/codecs.

    I just hate the wide vareity of video formats out there, I think its all useless and redudant.

    Excluding streaming video, it should be:

    OGM's
    and
    DIVX/AVI's

    Thats it!

    No additional audio or video codecs, filters or other useless crap.

    DIVX is fine as it is. So are OGMs.

    This seems more appropiate in the chit-chat forum because it's a discussion topic, not a question topic.
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)

    Well the problem is between all these codecs I don't see much improvement (quality or size reduction) over the original DIVX.

    And sometimes the codecs/codec packs will conflict with each other.

    The only improvement is the OGM codecs that allow multiple audio streams.
