Given the target seems computer-ready, you should assume square pixel
(rather than tv/dvd strange ratio), and aims at a 4:3 (old) or 16:9 ratio.
Max vertical (full screen) can be expected to be 1080, but it might be
wise to either make it half-screen (960 x 540 ?) or to allow for some
margins.
The CSS in their website is using a width of 770 pixel for the layout.

24 fps, progressive should be fine: most video player of computers will
push it at 60fps for display without problem. (let them handle the 2:3
issue with the graphic card)

If it was to be played on TV, some area at 50Hz might have been
problematic, but that's irrelevant to this contest.

1200 x 800 is strange. (a 3:2 ratio)

Also, before choosing the size, check the constraint of your video
encoding tools: some have a 16-boundary, some are limited to
"well-known" size...
