A couple years ago Goran did a lot of work on this, and the emails we exchanged are in this list's archive. I don't know if you had a chance to look at them, but I'd strongly suggest doing so because of all the tuning etc that went into making videos REALLY small (IIRC ~70 minutes for ~70mb or so).

Test for Video encoding ESUG 2011

by Marcus Denker

Hi, So we have 110GB of Videos... that need to get smaller. I did an experiment with Handbrake encoding to H.264/MPEG-4 (.m4v). >From 2.6GB .MOV from the camear to 218MB: http://esug.org/data/ESUG2011/Videos/26-Friday/ VLC can play this. So if people are fine with this, we would use it on all the videos and GC the original files. Marcus -- Marcus Denker -- http://marcusdenker.de
