How about using Theora[1], which ships with almost every free GNU/Linux distro and is also free (as in free speech, and as in free beer, and also free from patent issues). It also offers good compression, and user doesn't have to download any separate codecs :) . There's also a free codec named Dirac[2] by BBC, which is released by BBC for royalty free use. But I've not tried encoding into Dirac yet.
