I'll answer both posts in one... I used the "Digital VCR" feature of the ATI TV Wonder card to record the video initially. I captured it into MPEG-1 at 352x240, 29fps with stereo audio. That MPEG was 768 meg. When I did the build in Premiere, it took 5 hours to encode, and I used one of the "Cleaner" application presets.
Oh, and as far as file size, I'm not worried as long as it's less than 660 meg... since I'm going to be burning these movies to CD and mailing them to family members as opposed to having them download or trying to set up a streaming server (although it would be an interesting option and Premiere can save to a streaming real or qt file). Thanks for the thoughts!
