    mp4 is probably the most common...and it is compatible with the iPod...but I couldn't safely say there is [bold]any[/bold] format compatible with [bold]all[/bold] pmp/pvp's..

    Yes, my guess would have been mp4.

    I've also heard that there are different divx codecs that could pose problems depending on which device is being used - will I have to bear that in mind as well?

    I ask this as I'm considering offering a DVD to mp4 conversion service, and it would be useful for me to only have to worry about one type of codec ( in an ideal world !!!).
