Mpeg4 has the smaller file size (basically what Windross Media Player calls DivX), AVI is basically a lower quality version of DV.

If you are only interested in playback on Mac OS X then I would recommend you stick to the latest QuickTime format (i.e H.264). Spend the extra 20 bucks or so for QuickTime Pro and get a hold of a copy of MacTheRipper and you should be able to convert your DVDs into any format you wish.
