I am compelled to ask what your exact settings are throughout this process. Compression isn't new ground - there is over a decade of study on using QuickTime alone. When you say you are trying to achieve "good quality video" at less than one MB per minute, what does that mean? Do you have a target resolution and bit rate you are aiming for? Are you attempting to get specific smoothness or sharpness? Are you doing things to blur the background to save pixel weight? There are very proven methods for getting small file sizes, but it's unclear what your target is, other than one MB per minute.
