it depends on the distribution method of your game. if it's a cd, then use cinepak avi with best quality settings. this codec is supported by all windows versions.
If you want to distribute it online, you better use MPEG1, but even there are some incompatibilities, as I painfully experienced some time ago.
An other method would be to include the codec into the game distro, so the user may install it if it doesn't work. But I have no idea what codec could be distributed legally.
