this has to be tried

quality loss by lower birates depends also on the codec
H264 may have much better quality with lower bitrates
than other codecs

we are using H264 since yaers on SWF-players, yes it is supported

streaming is a totally other topic
google for "qt-faststart" (source is contained in ffmpeg tarball
but not compile dby default"

qt-faststart tempfile.mp4 finalfile.mp4

this will allow swf-players/ipod/iphone to start palying the
video without wait before it is fully downloaded
