Which video is of better quality?

[vegal]

And why?
Here is the comparison

Video 1 or Video 2?

I would say one based on bit rate, but if you were view them both on a 720p screen 2 may look better as it isn't stretched.

Also, are these both using the same codec?

I cant tell how it was encoded because I do not know how to tell

You can use a program called gspot for that.

Video 1

Video 2

Thank you for telling me about that program. Now it will make comparing alot easier (once I figure out how to tho lol)

Without being able to give them the eyeball test, I'd be inclined to Video 2. Xvid and DivX are basically the same codec, so that's apples vs. apples. Video 2 appears to be a widescreen SD format video and wouldn't require any upresolution to be displayed on a standard definition television. Any advantage that the extra bitrate of Video 1 offers would probably be eaten up trying to convert it to a normal television source. Bitrate is important, but it's not everything. Video 2 has a slightly better audio track, too.

audio bitrate too low

Too low for what?
