But when I try to come up with a useful value from that data I get a very
large value. Much higher than the typical 24-60 or so for quantization
that I see in files I encode.

Have I gotten the formula correct?

Size WxH  BPP FPS    Duration       Bitrate
(1920*1080*12*29.97*((22*60)+09.2))/1074000

Likely I was confused about the meaning of the term "quantization" here. Maybe you mean the ratio between compressed and uncompressed video stream? If "Bitrate" stands for the data rate of the MP4 video stream (excluding audio and container) in bits per second, the formula for the compression ratio in percent should look like:

Bitrate * 100 / (Frame Width * Height * BitsPerPixel * FrameRate)

Where a value of 100% means no compression and a value of 20% means that the output stream size takes one fifth of the input stream size. In your scenario the compression ratio is around 14%.
