My company formerly use recorded DVD videos to show sales presentation of our product.

Image quality isn't as crisp but its better then not being able to play the video at all.

What type of software are you using for your graphic design work?

Most laptops are fairly robust.. they should be capable of running movies for your company. Games, however, can be another story into itself. It all depends.

If you liked MPEG, try DiVX or XViD, the latter which is pretty good, provides much better compression and quality.

I've used mplayer/mencoder on the FreeBSD/Linux platform, and I tell you, it totally RULES at compression...
