Mpeg-1 video with mp2 audio, constant bitrate and no B frames, with a
standard framerate (24000/1001, 24, 25, 30000/1001, or 30) and
resolution (320x240 or 352x240 for NTSC; 320x288 or 352x288 for PAL).
Use the lavf encoders and muxer. This should be playable even on crap
like WMP and of course also on all good players.
