Dude, you don't need that big resolution... Things, which you see on TV are in 800x600 in 4:3 aspect and 960x600 for the wide screen aspect 16:9. Trust me, you don't need to go any higer than that. Gives you a discent quality and reasonable file size. Try it! Goood luck. P.S. there are some good video compresors which can squize 1.5GB in to 120MB without noticible quality loss.
