I'm slightly impressed that the video (3.4 MB) is only 100 times larger than the original MIDI (33 kB)

I remember being _very_ frustrated as a child that the music in "Hover!" sounded significantly different when we upgraded from our 486 to a Pentium II machine. The Sound Blaster gave the music a very distinct quality that was lacking in the software MIDI synthesizer.
I'm not surprised. Generally the default number of frames between key/I-frames is set pretty low because too many I frames in a row tend to look bad on video content that isn't static and also if you jump to a point between 2 I frames the video can look really weird becasue it hasn't updated the I frame the P frames are manipulating.
If you want Midi to render consistently across devices, you are “Significantly Out of Luck.”
The audio sounds like it sounds because Microsoft Licensed Roland’s GS Wavetable. Without that you lose timbral information.
