You were wrong in some of your assumptions.
More than you imagine.
It turns out that ffmpeg is straight to the point. At least if you want to convert an MPEG file to a smaller one.
I simply went something like
ffmpeg -i big.mpg small.mpg
and got a file of fifth the size, and with reasonable quality. No flags, no hassle. Its default values are exactly what you want for publishing something on the web.
What beats me, is that I got the same large file if I used ffmpeg through transcode:
transcode -i big.mpg-z -y ffmpeg,mp2enc -F mpeg1video -Z 352x288 -E 44100 -w 200 -b 64 -o $tmpfile
This is really weird. You may wonder why insist on transcode? Well, it has a lot of goodies in the decoding front.
So thank you for insisting.
