How about:

audio:
"mp2 "
"mp3 "
"ac3 "
"aac "
vrbs

video:
mp4v/mp4s/??? (pick one among those already in use)
mpg1
mpg2
h263
h264
263+ (nonconformant extensions to h263 should not be tagged h263)

comments? the basic idea of the above is to pick the "most sane" among
the fourcc's already used in practice in _some_ format out there..
