The videos I save are always choppy and slow if they're bigger than 400x300

'codec' is short for 'coder/decoder'; it refers to an algorithm used to compress video data (coder) and then to unpack the data and play it back again (decoder).  it's a generic term covering DV, MPEG (in all its numerous sub-variants), WMV and XVID, and many others.

personally, i use an MPEG-2 variant, partly because it seems to be the preferred format for recent versions of Sony Vegas, and partly because it gives a good colour gamut - as compared to WMV, for example, which seems to have a reduced contrast range and tends to wash out the stronger blacks and whites.

in terms of editing programs, WLMM will do if you just want to recode/compress video clips without doing too much editing on them, but if you plan on doing any significant amount of editing then there's a lot to be said for getting something like Vegas, as it gives you a lot more options.
