Just thought I'd post this pic I made comparing the 94.8MB QT file with the 36.6MB DivX file. I was working on getting a decent copy of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs Maps video and thought that the HIGHER file size would assure me of better picture quality.
Now I'm sure that there are a lot of variables in how a video is encoded that will change the picture quality but I was pretty surprised when I found that the QT video was not quite as good as my original DivX. There were also a lot more color problems with the QT video that I was used to seeing. It may be just a bad encoding job on the Apple side but I was always under the impression that QT video had a much greater ability to render high quality video than most anything else. I guess I was mis-informed...
