Bitrate, Framerate and Container definition?

Hi,

Can you please point me towards a reference guide?

- Framerate is easy to understand, but what is the optimal value? I see values of 23, 25 and 30. Why are exactly these value?

- What is bitrate (of the video). Is it the result after selecting a resolution and framerate, or is it another factor and what is the influence of bitrate on the quality.

- Container: I prefer DivX or XVid because the video can be played on a DivX DVD Player. This way I can watch the video on my TV instead of computer. Some authors use MKV, MPEG, OGM. How are they compared to DivX / XVid ?

Thanks in advance for any help.
