I beleive 160 to be musical diarrhea. Most people that work in the music industry can tell when a song is being played at 160 or worse. 192 is acceptable for dance music but I prefer all my music to be 256 or higher. I rip all my cd's at 256.
Video should be no different with the sound bitrate quality. There are plenty of discussions about what video quality is the best but I also convert my music dvd's to VOB's. Check out user TopHouse blog on ripping music DVD's. With terrabye hard drives being so cheap nowdays it is easy to go higher quality in your music whenever you can.

For video I use mainly .vob format and a few .avi all are at least 256 bit rate.

256/320 is better quality but 192 and the equivalent in vbr is still the standard. real 160 (if not from 128) is acceptable if the file cant be found in 192.
reason for this thread is to know what's the standard format (and quality): avi, mpg, divx, flv, xvid etc...

All my video is AAC at 192 or 256 kbs, 192 AAC is same file size but better quality that 384kbs mp3.....hard drive space is so cheap now why not move your quality up a notch or two.
The unfortunate thing is a lot of video is recorded with poor quality audio to begin with (especially music videos for some reason). Especially the old skool stuff whcih was originally recorded mostly in 3/4 inch tape which didn't have much better sound than a chomium cassette tape!
If the original source is crappy no matter what you encode to it will still be crappy unless you totally remaster it, and some originals are so bad even that can't be done.

I keep it simple, vob for video and wav for cd's. No conversions required. Fastest ripping. Least strain on CPU. Also hard drives are so cheap...2TB can be bought for under $400. MP3 and other compression formats were originally created because hard drives were expensive and download speeds were pathetic. For the best sound and video quality the native format is always the best.
