One is H264 and the other is Xvid version. Both have the ac3 audio.

H.264 is generally supposed to be better quality at the same filesize. I haven't verified this personally, but that's what I'm told.

However, I'd bet nobody who'd ask that question can play h.264 right now, so if you want to avoid a headache, you might aim for the xvid version (which is also damned nice) instead.

I personally dident notice any difference between the two, I have kept the xvid version to convert to mp4.

Its true. H. 264 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264) has better quality. If you havnt downloaded yet then I suggest you go for that version.

H264 is also very CPU intensive. I'd really advise not downloading H264 high-quality encodes unless you're running above a 2.4Ghz Intel or comparable AMD processor.
