Use the MPEG approach; use delta values, compression quite a bit (there's a
nice article on deterministic replays on Gamasutra that explains how this
was done using about 1.2 bytes/frame of controller info on average; in a
real PS2 game). Then every now & then store key frames as a full state,
correcting any mishaps on the way.
That should deal with floating point differences on different platforms/CPUs
etc.
