<snip> about 15 MB. Ouch.
errr. I meant about 5 MB

The camera gives me no control of the compression on the video.

You need to put the camera on a tripod and kick the compression up. The
fewer moving elements on the screen, the more the temporal compression in
most codecs will be able to crunch the data without ruining the image too
much.

I've been doing some pre-DVD-R experiments lately, and was able to cram one
hour of video onto a CDR that plays back on my DVD player with quality just
shy of VHS (the audio suffers a little more though).

Well, I had to go low res to keep the file size small. I can make this in a
larger size up to 15 seconds, BUT, the file gets to about 15 MB. Ouch.
