No. I have coded all mine in DivX and rarely get a complaint. However, I also tell people ahead of time they NEED DivX and provide the link to go and get the codec. Being proactive illiminates a lot of the bullshit.
As for videos, I break them into 2-3 minute segments. They run around 20-30 meg each, and are 720 x 480. I also make sure that people know this as well in descriptions. So I ward off the dialup users so they can't complain they were not warned ahead of time.
All this said, a lot of people do it differently, both in DiVX, WMV, AVI and alike. Same for dimensions, file size, and bitrates. There is no absolute. It comes down to what is manageable for the members. As well, the quality you are wanting, or willing to put out.
