Most compatible PC Video Format

Hey, as some of you know, im seinding in a video to an art school as part of my profile, and i need to put it on a cd along with the photos of my portfolio...

What 2 ways of encoding video should i include on the cd to assure that they can play it on a PC.

I was thinking: Mpeg-2 and regular .wmv

Any other suggestions or ideas?

wmv is the most guaranteed format, provided the pc you are playing it on has a version of media player as new as or newer than the machine that did the ecoding

.avi would be compatible to

What type of Avi though? Just the regular Audio Video Interleaved?

Because i know divx and xvid also use .avi

which is why wmv is such a safe bet, you dont get various codecs using the same file extension, as far as I am aware, only the version of media player installed on your machine affects how the wmv is encoded.

ie. There is the chance of a wmv encoded on a machine with WMP 10 installed wouldn't play on a machine that only have WMP 5.

Im using ImTOO Dvd ripper platinum. I was using a DVD camera to film it and when i extracted the files they came out in .ifo format. I need to go through and edit it and chop out the scenes i need, so im using the ripper to extract chapters.

(On a side note: any free/shareware basic video editors?)

yep just that one, or .mpeg is a standard video file extension aswell.
