thx, but maybe im an absolutly n00b and what then? what i should do with that? no... i just wanna download and play! without my extratime to convert it. why you reject mp4-format? it is the same quallity with the same output file size, plus its crossplotformer (actually i dunno how good it is under *nix, but i think its still quite well). srsly, i wanna download, drop it into my itunes library, sync and go. no extra movements. and its still good for pc and mac. and ios. and linux, i think. and pc and mac, again. hear my voice! Um, the mkv CONTAINER (it is the same format) is more optimized and customizable. And to my understanding, you can drop mkvs into itunes. I wouldn't know I use linux but I think apple has the slightest bit of common sense.

My computer: Ubuntu 10.04, Totem player, GStreamer framework (ugly and bad plugin sets are installed [these contain the proprietary codecs]) MKV: Minimal problems just a little blurry in fullscreen during waterfall scene MP4: Slightly more problems, just lines pixelizing sometimes near top of the screen in fullscreen I didnt download the other two because they were too large (and took too long) for me. My vote goes for MKV so you can add subtitles to it directly.
