You want crappy looking video??
Then I recommend "Soreson Video" codec (export using Quicktime 
conversion in Final Cut + pick Soreson Video as the codec... or some 
similar thing in a different system). Use this codec, along with the 
other advice (like a low data rate) to get a super pixelated look. (It 
was the main codec used for the Quicktime 5 Player and stinks compared 
to Mpeg-4.) The best thing to do is a lot of trial and error. There's 
nothing like compressing and recompressing the same clip a couple of 
dozen times while taking lots of notes about all the different numbers 
you are using to get a real understanding of how compression works. It 
will only take 10-12 hours or so :-)

The "best" way to get crappy audio is to compress the audio at or below 
24 kHz -- the lower, the crappier. But you may really, really NOT want 
to make your audio crappy too.

So yeah, like Ryanne said -- what are you up to?
