Linux Encoding

x264 is currently the best video codec available for Linux, but using it with AVI is not a good idea because this combination is incompatible with most hardware-based playback devices. When DivX (the company) dropped their old codec in favor of H.264, they dropped AVI as well and replaced it with MKV (Matroska). Any "DivX Plus"-certified Blu-ray player or set-top box will be able to play back H.264 in MKV (with AAC audio) but not in AVI.

Rule of thumb:
If you need DivX (version 5/6) compatibility, use Xvid and MP3 in AVI.
If you need DivX Plus (version 7) compatibility, use x264 and AAC in MKV.
If you need Apple iPod/iPhone compatibility, use x264 and AAC in MP4.
If you need HTML5 compatibility, use Theora and Vorbis in Ogg.
