...and the search results are astronomical...
Ach du liebe Güte...
And that's why I'm asking it "again" (I personally never asked it before)

It's about avi files, what kind of codec I should use to work with?
No DivX, for an end result it's ok, but for the work I don't think it's a good choice.
First I thought Quicktime would be good, but especially the software "Particle Illusion" (Win) can't import and also can't export Quicktime.
So I need a video codec which makes no giant big files and has compressed not to low pixelated pictures.
Example, I can get files between 400 MB and 900 KB, it's just the selected codec I use.
What avi codec is the best?
(no exotic seldom stuff)
What avi codec should be the best used to give the film away to people who makes a final cut of it, yes - to give it to some professionals...
(I've got no sound studio and will never have one...)
There's a chance for me to get a job by making some animations and I want it.
As I wrote, the search functions brings a lot of results... to much results.
Just a little tip would help.
