Try the following (in any combination, fiddle until you're happy):
- Increase/decrease the resolution of the transcoding profile.
- Increase the video compression bitrate.
- Check the "scale bitrate with resolution" checkbox.
Decreasing the resolution sounds kind of counterintuitive, but there
is really no need for a resolution greater than your display device,
and it can get you the best "compression" (e.g., 1/2 width and height
= 25% area) right off the bat.
