  As I understand it, and I'm no expert, the major criteria are,
FPS frames per second of picture (and this varies by coutry),
screen width/height, and format - NTSC/PAL. It's a complicated
issue that a group of people working on an internet movie project
are still trying to iron out the details of.
If you would like to gain some first hand knowledge before you
take the big plung on your own, the IMP is always looking for
more volunteers for the project. It is being produced in POV-Ray
only as far as output, goes but any modeling software that can
output to POV-Ray format can be used as an aid.
You can take a look for yourself to see if your interested at:
