Don't remembet what the exact codecs are. Prety much the standard for dvds now
is divx (mpeg4 variant). Linux plays it out of the box, but windows media
player needs an external plugin (www.divx.com). The player plugin is free.
Decoders are available as addware or payware iirc.
Make sure you use mp3 sound though. Ogg vorbis will give better quallity and
compression but I think support under windows is also a problem (nothing an
external driver can't solve, don't think internal).
I think there are avi variants that media player can plays out of the box but
I don't know whole the details.
Another option is standard mpeg but the quallity is bad and the compression is
terible.
Quicktime also has good quallity (mov) but would cause even more compatability
problems (and I don't know if there is encoding support under linux).
