I have tested it now. 20MB is impossible IMHO. As the original DVDs have
1.6 to 2 GB, that would mean compressing to about 1%! It would be
possible to encode the videos with low resolution to about half the size
we have now (~80MB for 45 minutes), with significant quality loss of
course. Are there requests, that I do this?
BTW, I would use AVI as container format again (video codec=MPEG4, audio
codec=MP3), as I get better quality for the same file size and I have
written some shell scripts, that fully automate the processing.
