Okay so im currently gettin a bunch of DVDs encoded in to iPod format and one other format however, im wondering what the best choice to make for this 'other' format is going to be?

For example, if i got .wmv files, do they lend themselves to easier future encoding in to .mpg, .rm, .swf formats etc?

Which movie format would you go with in terms of encoding and using that format to re-encode the titles in to alternate formats?

Regards,

Lee
