As for question #2, many codecs don't like dimensions that are not divisible by 8. Often they will encode, but playback can be choppy (if you're lucky) or downright crashes the player.
As for what codec to use, DivX is well supported on a large range of devices. WMV delivers better image quality, especially at lower bitrates, but it only plays on Windows machines.
MPEG-2 uses high bitrates and is the codec used for DVD video. If you're planning to make those animations available as a DVD movie, MPEG-2 is the way to go. The standard resolution for DVD is 720x576 pixels AFAIK (got to look that one up), I'd suggest using the standard DVD resolution in that case.
An important advantage of standard DVD is that it plays on just about any device.
The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
