Unfortunately mpeg2 (vob) are huge and too bulky for net
transfer. Ogg/Theora can be quite lean but not well supported,
yet, on winmac machines. I would use ffmpeg DivX for the 
best compromise at this point in time. "kino" exports to
it natively straight from DV.

Not open source but a comprehensive list at least.

grep videocodec /usr/share/mplayer/codecs.conf | awk '{print $2}'
