Video
Resolution 640 x 480 (4:3 SD) or 16:9 with 4:3 pulldown
Bit rate Because bit-rate is highly dependent on codec there is no recommended or minimum value. Videos should be optimized for resolution, aspect ratio and frame rate rather than bit rate.
Frame rate The frame rate of the original video should be maintained without re-sampling. In particular pulldown and other frame rate re-sampling techniques are strongly discouraged.
Codec H.264, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 preferred.
Audio
Codec MP3 or AAC preferred
Sampling rate 44.1kHz
Channels 2 (mono)
