650? are you talking Kb/s or just plain 650b/s? If you are talking about 650Kb/s, then you may consider MPEG-4. At 650Kb/s either one of the two mpeg formats will be any good.

I've found that Mpeg-1 generally does a better job at very low bit rates, while Mpeg-2 is better at higher bit rates. Low bit rate to mean VCD type rates under 1500 Kb/s
