It is nowhere near equivalent to MPEG4 (disclaimer: I am a video
compression author/nerd). But yes, it is free. But hardly anything
will play it.
If you want cross-platform, there really is no choice other than MPEG
(MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4). I have yet to see convincing arguments for
formats other than those for simple media distribution.

FWIW, DivX/MPEG4 or MPEG2 are much better (portable!) formats than the
garbage that is WMV.

I've lost contact with Stu Birchall. I last heard from
him on 1/02/07, but nothing since. Does anyone know if
he is ok?

I had an email from him on the 5th of this month. And well reminded, as I'd
gone and forgotten to reply (apologies here if you're reading this Stu, I'll
reply now!)
