Huffyuv for capturing, which is great imho. That's as far as I've gotten though since I'm still learning the ins and out of video editing. Thus I still need to chose a format to finalize in.

Mjpeg for capturing, and x264 for encoding. With x264 on full PAL resolution contents, i can get excellent quality at about 1000-1200 kbps, xvid would require about 1600-1800 kbps for similar quality. I use x264 for dvd-rips too, as my target is usually 1cd/movie.

XviD at the moment for compatiblity reasons.  One day I hope to use a H264 based codec, but I'm not ready yet.

x264 all the way for me (with AAC audio).
* Great quality to bitrate aspect.
* No need to install 3rd. party decoders to play them back.
* It is the default codec in the applications I use.

If being free implies being not good, then yes, unfortunally it's still free.
Seriously, what makes you think it would become propietary?

x264 may not be the best h.264 encoder, but it is far from bad.

I recently switched from DivX to Xvid, since I was having problems with DivX 6.  I've done some visual comparisons between the two, and it seems that Xvid is slightly better than DivX  (and of course doom9's tests show the same thing)

ak: no, i did not imply anything, just wondering, i tested apple h264 a bit and i wonder how they compare...

Ok, I was merely joking. I heard apple's implementation sort of limited, x264 has more tools, only that would speak in favor of x264. No idea how they compare at same settings.
