Some results
I have just tried these conditions:

Cinepak codec, Best Quality, 641x480

I got 2.2 megabytes a second

2.2 Megabytes * 30 seconds = 66 megabytes

Not bad, but the video quality is still kind of "boxy" per se. It is probably fine for a web video, but for a professional video, its ok, but defiantly not the best.

I think that they should give us more than just Cinepak.

Here are the codec which they should allow

*Intel Inudo 5.0 (Best for animation)

*Sorenson Video (Pretty good overall video)

*Animation (May not be the best, depends on the # of colors you have)

What they shouldn't include

*DIVX (sorry, there are too many variations of the MPEG-4 codec, its great but until the official one comes out, I would avoid this codec)

*Real Codec (Can't play in WMP or in Quicktime, and its not great on a lot of colors, and fast moving objects)

For a professional look Uncompressed DV is always the best, I think that they should just lower the size, I mean come on, 640x480 is a little bit excessive. And besides when a video is uncompressed you can blow it up to any side with very little distortions. Maybe somewhere around the range of 400x300 pixels. Than it should fit on the CD.
