xv is both the best output format and also one of the hardest to get
working. Generally to get this to work you need a recent video card
(probably agp, definitely pci), and a well configured X (using DRI,
debian usually sets this up automatically nowadays).
The great part about xv is that you can make the video fullscreen
without putting much strain on your cpu.

This is fine as long as you don't need to make movies fullscreen. If
you do I would advise you to switch down to a lower resolution
(ctrl-alt-+/-). As long as you have a decent cpu even that shouldn't
be a problem.

Somewhat between x11 and xv.

sometimes works sometimes doesn't, highly dependent on what card you
have
