hi
since i don't know ffmpeg that much, i can't tell you how to do it with
ffmpeg, but i know how with mencoder. from my experience, movies in the
mov container and encoded with mjpeg seem to be the most portable ones.
mjpeg is a) a simple codec and b) it does only intraframe compression,
which is faster to decode and also makes it easier to access frames
randomly.
the command line i am using:
mencoder input.<whatever> -o output.mov -nosound -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=mjpeg -of lavf -lavfopts format=mov
not only pdp, but also [pix_film] from Gem and [#in] from gridflow seem
to like this format.
