Jack,
That's a very broad question. It depends on how your HD footage/sequence is to be distributed and what platform it is to be played back or if it is for transfer into a seperate app. for efx work. Can you be more specific?

For PC/MAC playback there is QT H.264 and for PC Windows Media 9 Advanced.
If you're looking at washed out colors and it isn't going to downconvert to tape make sure you check RGB vs. 601/709. But, I think most people use H.264. It is very slow to compress but worth the wait. Windows Media looks great also. There is SheerVideo Pro AVI for Windows PC 2.6.4.11b and something called Huffy, but I haven't tested those yet. You might get better PC codec answers on the HD/HDV forum. Cheers,
