seems pretty simple to me...

if you plan to watch on your computer then download one of the smaller copies. these are the avi, asf, ogg, wmv, and whatever else is used to give higher compression.

if you plan to watch on a DVD player then download the bigger version. that would be the mpeg's that are used for VCD or SVCD authoring.

to guage quality by file size is very unfair because dferent formats use different levels of compression. i have seen re-encodes of VCD's that looked every bit as good as the original VCD at half the file size. you just can not guage by size alone, you need to account for formats.
