Look at the MP4 exporter for ffmpeg.  I've been pondering reorganizing
nuvexport to be codec-centric rather than container-centric, but it'll
be awhile if I ever get to it.

It plays back on my ipod.  Not that I actually watch TV in my ipod, but
that's where the code was when I first started playing with it.  H.264
is also generally considered to be a potential successor to mpeg for
broadcast, etc. (as evidenced by its use in European HD and other DVB
signals), as well as for internet streaming (iTunes, etc.).
