Good question. Currently, I'm using Theora for my videos and it works pretty well for me. However, using it requires access to the TGE 1.4 code from the Garage Games CVS server. The 1.4 code isn't 'finished' yet so you may encounter some minor issues with it. If you are currently using the 1.3 code base and only want to add the Theora playback features to your project, then you can use Jon Wilsdon's very cool resource, found at www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=8820.
If you decide to use Theora, I would suggest making mpeg cutscenes and then using ffmpeg2theora to convert them into the Ogg Theora format. You can find it at www.v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/
I hope that helps.
