Thats good information to have gathered! It sure will be usefull.
Have you look into the new html5's video tag? You can directly embed ogg in
a page, without flash or any other plugin. Firefox 3.5 supports that, I
think Safari would work too.
See this page for information (and look up the source)

Thanks for all the suggestions,
for future reference here's a summary of my results producing
various kinds of quicktime compatible videos from matplotlib.
I used Ubuntu Jaunty and had the medibuntu codecs installed.
The target audience is undergraduates, so straightforward is
good.

I have successfully used
mencoder -nosound -ovc lavc \
-lavcopts vbitrate=5000:vcodec=mjpeg \
-mf type=png:fps=30 -o moviename.avi mf://\*.png -v
I don't think the resulting files are very compressed, but they play
well with quicktime.
Another option for the mac is of course quic

That's encouraging, thanks. I tried this and produced

Just to confirm: the two OSX users down the hall get a "missing
components" message from quicktim
I produce all my movies in Ogg container + Theora compression. I use
ffmpeg2theora for that, available on all platforms:ffmpeg2theora --nosound
--optimize --width 1024 --height 768 --inputfps=15 --aspect 4:3

I use::
ffmpeg -r 60 -i frame%05d.png -vcodec wmv2 -b 2000k out.avi
And this works well to generate movies that play on Windows, Mac and
Linux. As a bonus, these movies can be included in Latex/Beamer output
using the movies15 package and played within the PDF via Adobe Reader on
Mac and Windows
This isn't strictly a matplotlib question, but I'm hoping
dual mac/linux users can provide some advice on converting png
files to quicktime movies using mencoder on Ubuntu or Centos.
So far I've found that
