Which format to save video from camcorder onto computer?
I've saved some as WMA, and now Nero is saving some as AVI. Which is best?
Thanks

Comparison of container formats - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'd use AVI, as it's more widely useable (IMHO)

Storage is cheap. Why not just capture at max quality, then use whatever editing program you use to output the final result at whatever resolution you want.
p.s. pixels is the physical size of the video. This will vary according to what you want to use it for (i.e. less for web, nore for tv). You also have to consider compression ratios. More compression = smaller files, but less quality.
