hm........as far as i am concerned, divx 3.11 sbc is better for tv series and xvid is best for dvdrip, coz tv can't reach realy high quality as dvd, except those stv while xvid can provide good quality anime with small file size and easy to control the size of file. btw, as long as u use windows, it will always crash no matter how many codec u installed, so complain about codec can't make any sense to me ^_^
