I do this alot, really it all depends a lot of factors.  I generally 
encode to AVI but edit the resolution to be smaller more than drop the 
bitrate on the video.  What exactly are you wanting to accomplish?  Do 
you want the video to retain the same aspect ratio?  The same screen 
resolution?  Or what?
