What are the best settings for full screen video on CD-Rom?

[joesmiley69]

I have a Post Production house outputting a video file that will go onto a CD-Rom.
They have asked me to tell them what SIZE, FORMAT, CODEC, and DATA RATE i want them to use.

I am new to director. I want the video footage to play FULL SCREEN.
These are the settings I have figured out so far:

Format: MPEG1 (i chose this as in requires nothing to be installed on users machine and is cross compatible mac/pc)
Codec: ?????
Size: I am thinking that most users will be using resolutions of 1024x768 so should I use this size? or will I get better results if I did it at 512x384 and then scaled it by 200% in director?
Data rate: 1500
Xtra: QT6Asset or MPEG Advance?

I just want to get the best quality and playback that I can FULL SCREEN from a CD-ROM without the end user having to install anything. PC/Mac cross compatible if possible but not essential if I can get better quality without it. Must be CD not dvd.

The video footage is only 2 mins long and will probably actually end up being 3 seperate movies of about 40 secs each.

Is there anything else that I need to be thinking about that I have missed out?

Kind Regards
Daryl

One thing, if you use QT Xtra the client machine will need QuickTime installed, which is fine for Mac but not necessary for PC. (But everyone has iPod and iTune these days, it may be fine for PCs too!) MPEG Xtra is the way if you don't want your users installing anything.
