I copy Hans Westerhof, whose team worked on the uploads.
Hans, the WikiVideo list is wondering how the size and bitrate for
your video uploads was chosen, and whether you considered other sizes.
This would help future uploaders. Can you point the right person at
this thread?
They might enjoy the other (low-volume) list traffic as well:

Looking at these 1200 Dutch videos,

they are just 320x240 pixels, which is another way to get
smaller files and lower bitrates.
Is that something I should settle for? Will I live happier
and prosper if I scale all videos to half their size?
Who did the job with the Dutch films? How did they reason?
