Can we use any quicktime codec?

IE 3ivx, On2, ZyGoVideo (is that what it is?). Cuz I would like to encode my entry and I dunno if I can use 3ivx or On2.

If you use a special quicktime codec (such as the ones you listed), please mention that in your post so that I can reflect it in your entry description. Not everyone has QT 5.0.2 will all the goodies. I won't accept divx or asf files. It has to be playable in quicktime without any special preparation/conversion.

Sorenson 3 does a great job too, depending on what the subject is. I don't remember if the smoothing feature is available in the standard version, but it blurs artifacts and you can get a really nice looking movie at a very low data rate.
