I would go with WMV at 3Mbps, 640x360. With audio at 192Kbps or so your 4 minutes would take about 94MB.

You might be able to get away with 960x540, but i bet some players will bog down and skip trying to display that large a frame. Sticking with 640x360 should result in a very sharp and crisp image.
