what's the best file type or converter for high quality videos?

[Curb71]

I converted some videos to .avi and they did not play. I converted some to 3gp and they look like crap. Can someone recommend a better file format to convert to or a better video player or a combo of the two so I can get my videos as high quality as possible?

I came from an HTC Apache / Mogul / TP / TP2 / and now the Evo. My first Droid phone.

I've always used Plato DVD shrink tool from cutedvd and convert to .avi.

I use the second to highest setting b/c the highest setting caused Evo issues.


Then ya gotta download "RockPlayer" to be able to view .avi.
