One of the rickiest parts of video editing is knowing what file format you should save your work as. There are DOZENS of different video "formats" that you can use - the RIGHT choice depends on what you plan to do with the video:


 * **USE** || **Format** || **Filesize** || **Quality** || **Compatibility** || Comments from tests ||
 * VIEWING || WMV (WindowsMedia) || Very small - a 13 second video uses 1 mb || Fair || Highly compatible with Windows computers || SLOW to render - a 13 second movie could take 2 minutes to cook ||
 * || MPG || Large - a 13 second video uses 10 mb || Good || Highly compatible with Windows computers || VERY large files, but a 13 second movie took 20 seconds to render ||
 * BURNING on a CD or DVD || AVI || Can be Small, with DivX Codec || Good || Less compatible - Requires DivX be installed on viewing computer ||  ||
 * EDITING || DV AVI || Largest || Excellent || Highly compatible with Windows computers ||  ||
