Pretty much everything works.  

MPEG-1 video with MP2 audio in an MPEG, works with EVERY video
player I've ever tried, at every size/bitrate/samplerate I've needed to
use.

MPEG-2 video works, provided you've got an MPEG-2 video codec installed.
 ffdshow works.

MPEG-4 video with MP3 audio in an AVI works if you've got Divx, Xvid, or
ffdshow install.  You need -ffourcc XVID if you're using CVS.

If you're having problems, you need to PROVIDE some information about
your specific problem, not the other way around.  I can't guess about
what your problem might be.
