For what? If you're going for quality, .mp4 is the best. However, not everyone can play .mp4 because it takes kind of a fast computer, or they won't be willing to download extra stuff to get it to play, so if you're trying to reach a wider audience, XviD (in an .avi container) is the best (and the quality's pretty good, too).

If it's good enough, the format won't matter.

if your going for the audiance the answer has always been mpeg actually ;p. cons accept mpegs, everybody can play mpegs; mac, windows, Linux/ Unix, mobile users alike, it takes VERY little to play mpegs as well... even a 300mhz monster can play an mpeg.

MPEGs are still good for your money, they are -_-

Yes it will.

I have a moral principle against .rm, for example, and so do many other people.

MOV just to see people go 'WTF is that?' since it doesn't seem terribly common anymore.
