Now, what I'm trying to achieve is to get the file into a format which (a) is as close as possible to the original (ie little loss of quality, not that the original is high quality anyway), and (b) likely to work on a different PC (Linux or Windows) with minimal codec issues. Are there any "standard" video formats I can rely on?

Try mpeg4 avi format. I use aac or mp3 as the audio codec depending on the target (aac is usually good).
ffmpeg is flexible and faster than mencoder
Try "ffmpeg -i infile -vcodec mpeg4 -acodec mp3 outfile.avi"
or "ffmpeg -i infile -vcodec mpeg4 -acodec aac outfile.avi"
