The video streams very well on a 1mbit connection over here (the ogg
theora one anyway). seems very good, well done :)

to be honest mpeg (mpeg2) is extremely old technology and there is a
reason that every single mpeg video you ever see on the net is around
320x240 in size, its also no good as a master copy as its just as lossy
as every other compression technique around.
It would make more sense to store an ogg/theora video as the master at a
high quality and provide a small mpeg video (same size as the ipod mp4
video, will be later/less quality than that one though) and give good
detailed instructions for installing ogg theora on peoples computers so
they can watch the high quality version.
