Thanks Moritz,

Would I enter this right into my command prompt, or would I create a separate file to run 
this statement from? I keep getting an error saying "File unexpected at this 
time". Apologies for any ignorance. I am new to using the command window, though I 
do have coding experience in php and java (though I am not sure that will help here). 
Thanks!
You might find it beneficial to have 1 dir in your home dir that you keep scripts
and add something like this

SrcDir=/media/BlahBlahpathtoVideoSourceFiles
cd $SrcDir

it will then "do" all in the dir BlahBlahpathtoVideoSourceFiles

---snip---
#!/bin/sh
SrcDir=/media/BlahBlahpathtoVideoSourceFiles
cd $SrcDir

for file in *; do
   SIZE=`stat -c %s "$file"`
   if [ $SIZE -gt 209715200 ]; then # > 200 MiB
     COMPRESSION_V="-b:v 1500k"
   elif [ $SIZE -ge 104857600 ]; then # >= 100 MiB
     COMPRESSION_V="-b:v 1100k"
   else # < 100 MiB
     COMPRESSION_V="-b:v 555k"
   fi

   ffmpeg -i "$file" $COMPRESSION_V -b:a 128k "$file".new.extensio
done
