I imagine you mean the total of all your video is 20 GB, and that the
indvidual files are smaller (?)

Please keep in mind that currently commons has a hard limit of 4 GB as
the max file size (By hard I mean hard coded into the code. There
might be a possibility to stretch that to 5 GB by making some code
changes to MW, but beyond that :S ). So all the individual files you
upload in the end must be 4 GB or less.

If you're comfortable with the command line (and aren't on metered
internet ;), one way to do conversion is to upload the file to your
tool labs account, and convert using ffmpeg at tool labs. Obviously
this is only a viable approach if you feel fairly comfortable with the
cli.
