I didn't understand that statement at first, but now I do. Thanks.
When Vim's 'encoding' is utf-8 and it reads a file it sees as having
a 'fileencoding' of latin1, it expands the latin1-encoded characters
into utf-8-encoded characters in the buffer. Latin1-encoding uses
1 byte per character while UTF-8 uses 1, 2, 3 or 4 bytes per
character. So the number of bytes in Vim's buffer may exceed the
number of bytes in the file, as it does in the OP's case.
If that's a problem, you can fix it by forcing Vim to use latin1
internally:
$ vim --cmd 'set enc=latin1 nofixeol' index_video_5_0_1.mp4
or set binary mode:
$ vim -b --cmd 'set noeol' index_video_5_0_1.mp4
