you could do worse than have a look at the current Divx or xVid codecs
Phil...

Remember that the movies you may have experienced in Divx have usually been
crunched down to an acceptable download size. Without that restriction, you
can code the movies to about the 1.5Gb level, and still have the full 5.1
soundtrack..

It'll still take a *lot* of diskspace, but, tbh, a more realistic amount.
Especially when you consider that 1Tb is now possible on a single IDE
Controller... (albeit at considerable cost)

Ian.
