It will of course consume less space, but not as convenient. http://playlistmag.com/weblogs/ipodblog/2005/10/videoipodlessons/index.php?lsrc=mwrss I guess you can play any video, if you reencode it.

If I have a 60 GB iPod, I would like to just be able to drag the DVDs VIDEO_TS folder to my iPod so that DVD menus, etc. are also available. If I have a DIV-X movie, I want to be able to drag it to my iPod and view it there - just like you're able to do on a "Kiss player":http://www.kiss-technology.com/ I see Apple's attempt to make quicktime the preferred video standard a bit like I see Microsoft's attempt to make IE(Internet Explorer) the web browser standard. They both try to force use of their own "standard" instead of acknowledging use of other "real" standards. Why don't you see DIV-X movies working inside the quicktime container? And why does Microsoft have to "invent" their own interpretation of javascript, CSS, etc.? I think convenience is the key here.
