It depends upon the "wrapper" (avi, wmv, etc) more than anything else since the basic video streams are generally designed to work even if they have been somewhat munged. You will usually get some "artifacts" such as pixelation, drop-outs, etc when that happens, but mostly they should still work unless totally munged. In my opinion, the best tool for this is the Mark-1 Eyeball device.
