h264 is pretty impressive, even if it does require a Cray to run at 
realtime speeds.  my own attempt to rip a VHS tape to an AVI resulted in 
an initially 22-GB file (6.25 hours @ 640x480x24fps), and I was able to 
use h264 to compress it to ~3 GB with almost no noticeable reduction in 
quality (not that the quality was terribly great to begin with...)
