Have you tried .mp4?

It would be best to exclude the audio of the video for a lesser filesize.

Also, a bitrate ranging from 2000-4000kbps is best for a small video
But to fit osu! Requirements as low as 1000-1500kbps should do
Take note that .mp4 (mpeg-4 codec) is probably the best to use

Here's a relatively quick way to strip audio, as long as you have ffmpeg, a pretty common platform for video codecs and the like.

Original post

Removing Audio Using ffmpeg

Open your mapset's folder, then on the folder, hold Shift and Right Click, then select Open Command Window Here.
Type the following command:
```
ffmpeg -i your_file.mp4 -vcodec copy -an output_file.mp4
```
where your_file.mp4 is the video file (you can use Tab to let the command prompt autocomplete for you) and output_file.mp4 is the output filename. This will remove all audio tracks from the video file. So for this case, my line looked like:
```
D:\Cirno\Rhythm\osu!\Songs\535476 eakon - Ayayaayayaayayaayayaayayaayayaayayaaya>ffmpeg -i fb31a6751bd79923f72e42dcd1560f3b.mp4 -vcodec copy -an ayaya.mp4
```
Done!
