Sorry for delay, i did not notice your post:-( It is up to you, as XBMC can play ISOs too. I have chosen ISO format, as I prefer to have only one file (ISO or M4V). It is important to choose *online* title while adding to MM, in order for MM to generate .xml file in movie folder. Second thing is to use XBMC build capable of reading MM xmls - meaning build 16178 or higher.
I had some problems with thumbnails while using builds 165xx thou.
FWIW, I find ISO to be MUCH more reliable. It takes about 300megs more space for each movie IME but it DOES play more reliably with XBMC and it makes the tagging process cleaner too. In fact I am in the middle of processing about 700 movies from VOB/IFO to ISO right this moment and NO it is NOT a fast process - using Shrink with no compression to do it...
P.S. Finding XBMC Media Companion MUCH improved and working easier for me than Movie Info who's interface is confusing as heck but seems to do more - often without my knowing it :-O
