Ffmpeg will encode to "iso" mpeg4, and this is the way to go, IMHO. Note also that DivX derivatives (OpenDivX, DivX4 & 5, to name the most important ones) are available for linux (coders and decoders alike), and are quite popular with Windows users - though require download on both platforms. Ffmpeg, OTOH, is distributed with some distros and I found the version that comes with Mandrake 8.2 to be very good.
