What are the top 5 video and audio codecsand why? (and formats)
Just curious.
What makes something good is good quality/size, easy/fast playback.
I wonder if there is much difference between subtitles....
the best video/audio codec?

Xvid is mpeg-4Hey hey, I think you're forgetting Xvid for video and wmal (which in my opinion is above FLAC in some ways) for audio, both of which VLC supports, kind of.

Mov container is less good than mp4.
Mkv container is good but not enough spread in players and is a bit too complicated for 99% of the cases.
Atrac is horrible, Monkey's Audio has a stupid license and changes too often.
FLAC or ALAC are better.
