If you're going to do a major full screen output render, it's better to render a series of uncompressed stills and then use a video editing program to do final conversion to video. Pros: -Better quality image from no compression. -Alpha channels available in some formats -If the render gets interrupted it's easy to start back up at the last successfully rendered frame -You can use uncompressed source material and compress your movie at different sizes and using different forms of compression to find the best quality/file size trade off for your needs. Cons: This could take up a lot of space on your hard drive It adds a step to your production process.
