Eh, 800x450 x264?

If you are transcoding from a large 720p or 1080p source file, then x264 at the above mentioned resolution. 2pass ~500kbps, 96kbps stereo lc aac for audio. The slow or slower preset for video. MKV or MP4 container. You may need a 3rd party video player for mkv. If the source files are small low quality 720p (e.g. yify) they'll play fine as they are.
