ā€œ-vcodec mpeg4 -qscale 2ā€ reduces the file size by a factor of 50 and can be 
opened in my downstream analysis Ethovision. It will take a week or so to run 
some real experiments and see if the video quality is good enough, but it looks 
great and I’m optimistic that this solved the problem. Thanks for your 
suggestions! They really made a difference.
